Valle Camonica. The Valley of Landmarks.

Why “The Valley of Landmarks”? The Valley is named after its most important treasure: the rock engravings, our ancestors’ heritage. They represent the history of 12.000 years of humankind dwelling our land, narrating the hunting tradition, nature and beliefs through images.

The UNESCO acknowledged Valle Camonica rock engraving as fi rst world heritage site in Italy in 1979. The 300.000 engravings are scattered

throughout the whole valley, from the Retic Alps, to Lake Iseo.

Nature is the second treasure of our valley, recognized in 2018 as Reserve of the Biosphere by the UNESCO MAB program. When you visit our valley, the gaze wanders through green mountains, rocky peaks, blue alpine lakes and bright glaciers. Let nature carry you. Let our signs, colors and landmarks enrich your spirit, bodyand soul.

Valle Camonica. The Valley of Landmarks.

Nature in Valle Camonica is entwined with history, from the ancient times, to World War I. The mountains of the Adamello Park still carry the signs of battlefi elds, trenches and artillery.

Many parks safeguard our wonderful nature, among them: the Stelvio National Park surrounded by peaks, the Boschi del Giovetto Natural Park and its pinewoods and the Lago Moro Park that protects one of the most beautiful alpine lakes of Valle Camonica.

The signs of HISTORYThe rock engravings, fi rst Italian UNESCO World Heritage site narrate the life of our ancestors. More than 2000 rocks engraved with over 300.000 signs, are scattered over 24 of the 41 villages in Valle Camonica. The middle-valley and the sacred mountains area host the greatest number of engraved rocks.

Roman and Medieval history is also part of our great heritage. In Cividate Camuno you can walk among the Roman remains. In the ancient village of Bienno you can visit old, but still working, watermills and

sledgehammers. Above the village of Bienno, you can take a walk to the medieval castle of Breno and enjoy the amazing view overlooking the valley and the sacred mountains: Concarena and Pizzo Badile.

During World War I the Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies fought for months during harsh winters on our peaks and mountains. The traces of the Great war are still visible along the peaks: cannons, trenches, Tibetan bridges and artillery are just a couple hours away on foot from upper valley towns.

The signs of ARTAmong the landmarks of Valle Camonica, arts is one of the most amazing. Frescos, wooden sculpturesand paintings date back from the Renaissance until modern times.

The painter Giovanni Pietro da Cemmo (XV century) left his traces in many sacred buildings, among which the Monastery of Annunciata, the church of Esine and San Rocco in Bagolino.

During the Renaissance, Girolamo Romanino brought his art to Valle Camonica, painting frescos in churches like Santa Maria della Neve in Pisogne,

Santa Maria Annunciata in Bienno and San’t Antonio in Breno.

Beniamino Simoni is the leading artist of wooden sculpture. Around 1700 he sculpted almost 200 statues for the Sanctuary of the Via Crucis in Cerveno.

As for Contemporary art, Franca Ghitti is the number one artist. She expressed her art through iron, paper, wood and rock. Among her most famous works, there is the bell tower door in Erbanno and the Double Crossin Cividate Camuno.

Valle Camonica. The Valley of Landmarks.

Industry is been of great importance in Valle Camonica since very long time. The railway running from North to South, the rural spaces and the presence of water, made it possible to start steel, textile and iron industrysince the beginning of the XX century. The use of water for watermills and forges started in medieval times and is still working.

Traces of this kind of activities are scattered along the whole valley from

Bienno to Cedegolo. In Cedegolo an ancient hydroelectric power plant has been turned into a modern Hydroelectric Power Museum.

Some other old industrial buildings have been recently converted into museums and attractions; the most signifi cant is the former lime productive center 3T in Sellero.

The signs of GASTRONOMY

Cheeses, liquors, honey, traditional Valle camonica gastronomy

In Valle Camonica gastronomy stands for simplicity. Traditional food is made of poor rural ingredients such as wheat, chestnut fl our and milk. Polenta, cheese, game, fresh water fi sh, honey, marmalades and wines are often mixed together to prepare the most delicious recipes. Casoncelli (ravioli stuffed with meat) and Capù (bread, meat and herbs wrapped in kale leaves) are among the tastiest dishes of our tradition.

The signs of WELLNESS

Relax and sport go hand-in-hand in our Valley. After walking, hiking, skiing, climbing or biking, nothing is better than relaxing in one of our wellness centers. Our thermal waters run for more than 15 years from the peaks of our mountains to the town, where they acquire healing and medical properties.

The first thermal activities started in Boario Terme in the late 1700 and they have been part of our territorial

treasures ever since. The Cupola Liberty, symbol of the park of Boario, was built instead in 1913.

Angolo Terme hosts the second most important thermal park, near river Dezzo, at the foot of Val di Scalve.
