It is not known precisely when it was built: a document from the Camera di Commercio di Rovereto attests to it as early as 1890, and it served only Cortina, one of the three hamlets that make up Vermiglio. Driven by water wheels on the Rio Cortina, it ground mainly rye, barley and wheat, the cereals that every family grew; next to the millstone there was a pestle for hulling barley. It stopped working in the mid-1950s, partly because of a flood that damaged its structure. After decades of abandonment it was restored in 2016 using conservation criteria and European funds, and its mechanisms are working again.

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.
