Chiesa di Santo Stefano

A document of 1320 states that it already existed before 1106.

The pieve of Cloz appears for the first time in documents of 1183. A second reference, dated 1320, mentions it together with the pieve of Revò and describes it as already existing at the time when the diocese of Trento was ruled by the prince-bishop Adalberone, between 1084 and 1106.

Nothing is known about the original building: neither its appearance, nor its size, nor the exact date of construction. In the first half of the fifteenth century it was almost certainly rebuilt, and the solemn consecration was celebrated, once the works were complete, in 1451, by the suffragan bishop Albertino da Tridino.

In the second half of the sixteenth century the fifteenth-century church was again in poor condition, and the religious authority was asked for permission to restore it and rebuild it in part.

Today in the valleys

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.
