Riobianco (German: Weißenbach) is a mountain village in the Ahrntal-Valle Aurina commune of South Tyrol in northern Italy. It is composed of picturesque alpine farmhouses, grouped around the foaming white glacial stream from which its name is derived. With a population of around 550, it sits at an altitude of 1350 metres above sea level.
[edit] Church of St. Jacob
The pride of the village is the Church of St. Jacob, dating from the 16th century. The church houses a valuable winged altar from 1516, which was restored in 1884. Also of note are both the modern extension to the church building and the newly-arranged adjoining cemetery.
