Chiesa di Santa Brigida

The old church, half demolished, became the cemetery chapel.

The parish church of Don was built in the second half of the 19th century to replace the previous one, which had the same dedication and had been raised to the status of espositura in 1793: the old church, no longer adequate for the faithful, was partly demolished and what remained became the cemetery chapel.

The design of the new church was entrusted to the surveyor Giovanni Brugnara of Cles. The building site stayed open for three years and the work was completed in 1873; the place of worship was blessed that same year, but the solemn consecration to Saint Brigid came only three years later, in 1876. The decorations of the presbytery date from 1910, the work of Ubaldo Tasselli, and in 1922 the church became a parish church.

In 1939 the Trentino firm Parisi installed new polychrome stained-glass windows. Inside, the nave is single, divided into three bays and covered by a barrel vault; on the right-hand side altar there is a polychrome wooden statue of the Madonna del Carmelo, a nineteenth-century work by Carlo Pancheri.

Just a moment...

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
