The first mention is a parchment kept in the parish archive: in April 1478 Pancrazio Khuen-Belasi obtained an indulgence of one hundred days for those who visited the chapel of Dercolo and left an offering there. The lord of the castle, who would later become captain of the valli di Non and di Sole, probably had reasons that were not only devout: the source suggests that the lord of the castle, future captain of the valli di Non and di Sole, aspired to increase his own prestige over the nearby community of Dercolo.

The present church was built between 1540 and 1560, as the date carved on the right pillar of the chancel arch states. Curiously, the solemn consecration came before the end of the works, on 14 November 1558. The bell tower is a century later, and in 1751 the church became a curacy of the pieve of Denno.

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.
