Grosio

Description

Town of the Valtellina area, in the province of Sondrio, Grosio was the site of human settlement since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the rural inscriptions (2200-1000 B.C.) found on the "Rupa Magna", the largest archaeological monument in Valtellina. It was feud of the Venosta Family since 1355 and became important for the extensive trade with Venice through the mountain passage "passo Mortirolo" from the XVI century onwards.
It features restful landscapes, artistic and historical buildings to admire, which make of Grosio a resort of great importance.
