Art & Culture

The perfect mix between rural roots and fine arts, the area around Sondrio is rich in hidden treasures. From the city of Sondrio, the result of a perfect union between buildings of different periods and styles, to the borroughs where - close to rural courtyards - noble houses, palaces and churches were raised and skillfully embellished by painters and wood artists.

Strolling through the city, between small antique shops and traditional objects, the view is lost confused, while the palate is inevitably whetted by the typical products that only

Valtellina can offer. Nestled among rock and vineyards, there are the Madonna della Sassella Sanctuary and Castello di Grumello. The amazing vineyard route crosses the

borrough of Ponte in Valtellina, one of the first cultural centers of the valley, that was the birthplace of the man of letters Francesco Quadrio and the astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi.
