Chiesa di Santa Tecla

The church of Malosco first appears in a will of 1228. The building of that time must have been a small chapel, rebuilt in the fifteenth century in the Gothic taste of the period; and a chapel it still was when Bernardo Clesio visited it in 1538. The pastoral visit of 1616 requested that the interior be repainted.

The transition to a church proper was slow. Only in 1768 did it obtain permission for a baptismal font; between 1771 and 1773 it was rebuilt and enlarged at the front; in 1782 the bell tower was raised significantly, closing off the earlier belfry. In 1909 Celestino Endrici, on a visit, ordered that the staircase giving access to the choir loft be brought into the hall: until then it had been reached from the bell tower.

It was raised to parish status in 1919, and from that moment ceased to be a subsidiary of the pieve of Fondo. In the years immediately after the First World War, a major restoration enriched it with decorations by the painter Metodio Ottolini of Aldeno. Further cycles of work, from 1988 until around 2012, renewed the roofs of the church and the bell tower and restored the walls and the high altar.
