M. di Campiglio, Pinzolo e Val RendenaPinzolo.
The documents on the religious and economic history of Pinzolo bear witness to its medieval history and to the existence in Pinzolo of the first "Compagnia dei Battuti" in Trentino.
The municipal archive of Pinzolo has a recent version of the statute of this Brotherhood. This group left a more extensive and concrete series of documents proving the devotion of its members. The "Battuti" were a religious brotherhood formed by lay members whose religion consisted of long prayers, severe punishments and social and charity initiatives.
The important church with cemetery dedicated to S. Vigilio is of ancient origins: it was probably built before the 11th century; in the first decades of the 16th century it was not big. In 1539 Simone Baschenis decorated the southern wall with the famous "Trionfo della Morte" (triumph of death) and respective "Danza Macabra", the Seven Cardinal Sins and the "Resurrezione di Cristo" (Christ´s Resurrection).

In 1823 Nepomuceno Bolognini was born in Pinzolo: he was one of the most important figures of the Risorgimento in Trentino. He founded in his village the SAT (Trentino´s Alpinists Society) and contributed to the promotion of the history and folkloric traditions of Pinzolo: in line with his devotion to tourism and mountains, Angiolino Binelli founded here the first Italian Alpine Rescue Unit in 1952. During the First World War Pinzolo suffered and was a very dangerous area since fighting took place on the nearby Adamello. The consequent poverty of Pinzolo and the whole Val Rendena compelled many people to emigrate looking for jobs and better living conditions. In 1969 a monument was erected at the entrance of the village to commemorate the knife-grinders from Pinzolo who travelled all around the world grinding knives and blades.
