The fa\u00e7ade has two orders, surmounted by a tympanum with a strongly evident cornice in-between; the lower order is decorated with stone slabs that simulate a portico with three supporting arches, and has two side windows and a front door, flanked by two hanging lanterns. The composition of the building is quite harmonious in its simplicity, and was designed by the Milanese architect Gaetano Besia at the request of a group of people &#8211; either belonging to wealthy local families or holidaymakers from Milan \u2013 who founded the \u201cSociet\u00e0 del Teatro di Canzo\u201d (<i>Society for the Theatre of Canzo<\/i>) in April 1828. Painter Orazio Tessa from Milan was called to fresco the interior, while the scenographer of Milan\u2019s Teatro alla Scala took care of the stage design.<\/p>\n<p>Just a year and a half later, on 18th October 1829, the theatre was inaugurated with the Italian version of <i>Le faux Bonhomme<\/i> (<i>The false good-natured man<\/i>) by Alexandre Duval, staged by the Compagnia dei Filodrammatici (<i>Company of Amateur Actors<\/i>) of Milan.<\/p>\n<p>In the course of its long history, the theatre hosted performances of plays and operas, especially around the mid-nineteenth century; a few parties and charity events were held there, too. At the end of the century some of the theatre rooms were used for the School of Drawing and evening classes promoted by the Societ\u00e0 Operaia di Mutuo Soccorso (<i>Workers&#8217; Mutual Aid Association<\/i>) of Canzo.<\/p>\n<p>In the thirties and forties of the twentieth century the building was also used for film screenings; when the war ended the property was transferred to the Municipality, which continued to use it as a cinema and occasionally as a theatre. In the mid-80s the building underwent complete restoration; since its second inauguration in 1990, the Theatre has presented notable music and prose seasons, and has become an important cultural landmark for the area.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Municipality of\u00a0Canzo<\/b>\u00a0via Mazzini 28, Canzo; Tel. 031.674111<\/p>\n<p><b>NonSoloTurismo<\/b>\u00a0Piazza Garibaldi 5, Canzo; Tel. 031.684563 &#8211; 331.9939726; e-mail info@nonsoloturismo.net<\/p>\n<p><b>Read here to know more about the<\/b> <b>Teatro Sociale of Canzo:<\/p>\n<p><\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"><a style=\"line-height: 1.6;\" title=\"Wikipedia - Scheda Teatro Sociale di Canzo\" href=\"http:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Teatro_Sociale_(Canzo)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wikipedia &#8211; Teatro Sociale of\u00a0Canzo<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/span><a title=\"Teatro Sociale on Municipality of Canzo Website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.comune.canzo.co.it\/sa\/sa_p_testo.php?x=&#038;idservizio=10032&#038;idtesto=137&#038;idfoto=&#038;&#038;nodo=nodo2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Municipality of Canzo website\u00a0\u2013 Teatro Sociale<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\"><li  role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-e7fcdadb02a387db135\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-e7fcdadb02a387db135\" href=\"#tab-e7fcdadb02a387db135\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Palazzo Tentorio (Tentorio Palace)<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-e7fcdadb02a387db135\" id=\"tab-e7fcdadb02a387db135\"><div class=\"awb-tab-pane-inner\">\n<div style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.camminacitta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tentoriorid.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5273\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.camminacitta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tentoriorid.jpg?resize=254%2C339&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Palazzo Tentorio\" width=\"254\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.camminacitta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tentoriorid.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.camminacitta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tentoriorid.jpg?w=254&amp;ssl=1 254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Palazzo Tentorio (Tentorio Palace)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Information<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Location<\/b>: Palazzo Tentorio (Tentorio Palace) overlooks Via Mazzini, and its entrance is at number 28.<\/p>\n<p><b>Paving<\/b>: Via Mazzini is asphalted; the pavement on the side of the street is of porphyry flagstones, while the Palace hallway is made of stone flags.<\/p>\n<p><b>Architectural barriers<\/b>: to access Palazzo Tentorio one must cross a small stone-made chute-shaped threshold opening onto a hallway, the first portion of which is inclined slightly downwards and separated from the interior by a glass door.<i><\/p>\n<p><\/i><b>Access<\/b>: access is from the large monumental portal in via Mazzini.<\/p>\n<p><b>Services<\/b>: parking available in the area; automated teller machines along Via Mazzini; Chemist in Via Mazzini.<\/p>\n<p><b>Leisure and food<\/b>: bars and restaurants in the area.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Description<\/span><\/p>\n<p>(Silvia Fasana)<\/p>\n<p>Palazzo Tentorio (Tentorio Palace) is an austere three-floor building, with an imposing rounded arch ashlar portal in its fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p>The ground floor of the palace is occupied by a large hallway, with a porch opening onto the square at the back; following the recent restoration, the first floor has come to host the offices of the Mayor and City Clerk and the Council Chamber. A large hall with exposed trusses takes up the second floor.<\/p>\n<p>The name of the palace derives from the Tentorio family, who purchased it in 1706 from the Riboldis. The Tentorios had become a wealthy family through their flourishing woollen cloth trade; they left a significant trace of their presence in Canzo by generously contributing to the construction of the new Church of S. Stefano (<i>St. Stephen<\/i>), consecrated in 1752.<\/p>\n<p>In 1828 the complex was transferred to the brothers Giovanni Maria, Benedetto and Venanzio Gavazzi, who in that period were active in the development of the silk industry; in 1836 the entire structure was acquired by Giovanni Battista Gavazzi, son of Giovanni Maria. Three years later, Giovanni Battista, too, distinguished himself for an initiative of great importance and public interest: the foundation of a Hospital next to the Church of S. Francesco (<i>St. Francis<\/i>).<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the Palace was purchased in 1889 by the Municipality to host the school and, later, the Town Hall. In 1999 the building was renovated, and a new building &#8211; opened in 2002 &#8211; was added at the back.<\/p>\n<p>The latter building, made in contemporary style undressed stone, and designed by architects \u201cStudio Associato Ventura Architetti di Pizzighettone\u201d, is composed of two distinct parts: the porch and the tower that, in the intention of the designers, can be considered as the founding elements of a \u201cBroletto\u201d \u00ab<em>a term which defines the old Lombard communes\u2019 Municipal Palace (also called \u201carengario\u201d) and which derives from \u201cbrolo\u201d, an enclosed garden with dry stone walls where in times past people gathered to make decisions affecting public life<\/em>\u00bb. The porch houses municipal offices and medical clinics; the assembly room is hosted in the upper part of the tower, outside of which stands a large clock.<\/p>\n<p>Palazzo Tentorio and the new building are separated by a small square.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Municipality of Canzo<\/b>\u00a0via Mazzini 28, Canzo; Tel. 031.674111<\/p>\n<p><b>NonSoloTurismo<\/b>\u00a0Piazza Garibaldi 5, Canzo; Tel. 031.684563 &#8211; 331.9939726; e-mail info@nonsoloturismo.net<\/p>\n<p><b>Read here to know more about Palazzo Tentorio:<\/p>\n<p><\/b><a title=\"Sito del Comune di Canzo \u2013 Scheda Palazzo Tentorio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.comune.canzo.co.it\/sa\/sa_p_testo.php?x=ff790c90f89f5bb3a526e2b568dbf63b&#038;idservizio=10032&#038;idtesto=136&#038;idfoto=&#038;&#038;nodo=nodo1\">Municipality of Canzo website \u2013 Palazzo Tentorio<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\"><li  role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-5852bd211e51474997b\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-5852bd211e51474997b\" href=\"#tab-5852bd211e51474997b\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Church of S.

Stefano (known in the local dialect as <i>G\u00e9sa granda<\/i>, i.e. the big Church) owes its current appearance to a radical reshaping and restructuring, carried out between 1728 and 1752, of an existing building, already referred to in the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century as being dependent from the Pieve of Incino.<\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that the area currently occupied by the main Church was originally a vineyard owned by the Pelliccione family. After great insistence, they donated the vineyard to the parish, subject to the binding condition that all vine plants were to be uprooted on the same night. Thus, after a night of feverish work carried out by the entire population, all plants were pulled up and construction was started.<\/p>\n<p>In 1819 the bell tower was added, although the project by architect Giuseppe Bovara originally included a second belfry, too.<\/p>\n<p>The eighteenth-century two-order fa\u00e7ade, in Lombard Baroque style, marked by pilaster strips, shows a pleasant alternation of concave and convex. The impressive main entrance, surrounded by columns and surmounted by a curved tympanum, is flanked by the two minor entrances, each with its own triangular tympanum pediment. In 1907 the statues of <i>St. Stephen<\/i> and the <i>Blessed Miro<\/i>, placed inside richly decorated niches, were added to the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p>The interior features a single nave and four side chapels, and is a true feast of marbles, stuccoes and gilding.<\/p>\n<p>When entering the Church, the first chapel on the right hosts a much venerated 16<sup>th<\/sup> century wooden crucifix, already admired by St. Carlo Borromeo during his pastoral visit; the second chapel houses a statue of <i>St. Anthony the Abbot<\/i>, by Elia Vincenzo Buzzi (1767). The first chapel to the left of the entrance is dedicated to St. Bernard, while the second to Our Lady of the Rosary, with statues, once again the work of Buzzi (1761). All chapels contain rich and elaborate marble altars.<\/p>\n<p>Above confessionals constructed in marble and wood against the walls of the nave, in-between the chapels, stands the pipe organ, the work of the famous Serassi Brothers (1828), restored by Natale Balbiani from Milan at the beginning of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n<p>The presbytery, which has a polygonal apse, is dominated by the temple shaped main altar, characterized by an interesting altar frontal made in scagliola stone.<\/p>\n<p>The presbytery vault is decorated with eighteenth-century frescoes depicting the <i>Trinity<\/i>, the <i>Glory of St. Stephen<\/i>, and, in the webs, the <i>Four Evangelists<\/i>; most of the frescoes which embellish the vault of the nave and the side chapels\u2019 walls are the work of painter Mario Albertella, director of the School of Professional Milanese Christian Art, who completed them around 1925.<\/p>\n<p>To the left of the altar, a chapel holds numerous relics bequeathed by Msgr. Camillo Fino, provost of Canzo and formerly Notary responsible for the authentication of relics in the Diocese of Milan.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Parish of\u00a0Canzo<\/b>\u00a0via Alla Chiesa 56; Tel. 031.68132<\/p>\n<p><b>Read here to know more about the provostship church of S.

The whole day, organized by the local <i>Cumpagnia di Nost<\/i> association in conjunction with ERSAF (<i>Regional Agency for Services to Agriculture and Forestry<\/i>) and Legambiente (an environmental association), is characterized by cultural events and games: participants walk uphill in procession from\u00a0 Gajum to Prim&#8217;Alpe to play games of strength (<i>da<\/i> <i>f\u00f2rza<\/i>) and<i> <\/i>ability (<i>da<\/i> <i>malizia<\/i>), taste typical local dishes (the <i>disn\u00e0<\/i>), enjoy folk music and characteristic rites, such as the sound of the shepherd\u2019s horn, the <i>s&#8217;ciupetada<\/i>, and the reading of the Ode to the <i>R\u00e8 di Alp <\/i>(King of the Alp), an homage to this symbolic figure who looks after nature and its rhythms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Biofera<\/p>\n<p><\/b>On the second weekend of September the courtyards and rooms of Villa Meda host the Biofera, a fair and market where more than a hundred small farmers and craftsmen, carefully selected from all over Italy, present their products related to organic farming and alternative medicine remedies.

A folder with Cantoni\u2019s original drawings is kept at Canton Ticino\u2019s historical archives in Bellinzona (CH): the designs show different architectural solutions, both for the internal structure of the building, and the garden and outdoor appurtenances. It is a composite plan complex, built around a main courtyard with an arched portico supported by square pillars at the side of the entrance. The rooms inside the villa contain frescoes and eighteenth-century coffered wooden ceilings decorated by Luca Roscio from Vill&#8217;Albese. From another smaller courtyard (see the description of Stage 2) one can visit what was probably the chapel of the villa, left unfinished, and inappropriately called the Baptistery due to its circular plan, with a central stone colonnade and octagonal wooden vault. Beyond the main courtyard, on the right bank of the Ravella stream, was the park (which is believed to have been planned as an Italian garden, with a refined two-niche nymphaeum), linked to the other bank by means of a picturesque stone bridge. The perimeter wall of the property, in undressed stone, was embellished with turrets and aediculae. The building was later used in the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century as a summer camp for the Stelline in Milan (an orphanage for girls, the female equivalent of the <i>Martinitt<\/i>), and as barracks during the Second World War. In 1983, the Municipality of Canzo bought the complex from Stelline; after a long period of restoration, it was converted into private homes and public rooms, housing a number of Canzo\u2019s Associations and the Public Library.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Municipality of\u00a0Canzo\u00a0<\/b>via Mazzini 28, Canzo; Tel. 031.674111<\/p>\n<p><b>NonSoloTurismo<\/b>\u00a0Piazza Garibaldi 5, Canzo; Tel. 031.684563; 331.9939726; e-mail\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@nonsoloturismo.net\">info@nonsoloturismo.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Library\u00a0<\/strong>Villa Meda, Canzo; Tel. 031.683119<\/p>\n<p><b>Read here to know more about Villa Meda:<\/p>\n<p><\/b><a style=\"line-height: 1.6;\" title=\"Sito del Comune di Canzo \u2013 Scheda Villa Meda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Municipality of\u00a0Canzo website \u2013 Villa Meda<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\"><li  role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-20646edaec0146d2c07\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-20646edaec0146d2c07\" href=\"#tab-20646edaec0146d2c07\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Church of S.

Francesco (St. Francis) is also known as <em>G\u00e9sa da San Mir\u00e8tt<\/em>, named after the local Saint, using the diminutive to distinguish it from <em>San Mir <\/em>(the Shrine); it was part of a fourteenth-century Franciscan monastery. Initially dedicated to Our Lady, it changed its dedication in favour of St. Miro in a period prior to 1493; it was restored and enlarged presumably in the first half of the eighteenth century. The end of the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century marked the end of the presence of the Friars Minor in the adjacent convent. <em>\u00abIn 1839 at the bequest of the Provost Don Angelo Sala and with the substantial contribution of Giovan Battista Gavazzi, the friary was transformed into a Civil Hospital to become, after the Great War, a retirement home for the elderly, a function which it held until 1979. Meanwhile, the Church changed its name to S. Francesco\u00bb <\/em>(source: http:\/\/www.comune.canzo.co.it\/)<em>, <\/em>although the population still remembers it as dedicated to \u201cfellow villager\u201d St. Miro. At the end of the 70s of the last century restoration and conservative renovation works were started on the Church and the annexed building, which today continues its spiritual function as a monastic Oasis, according to a decision by the Archbishop of Milan\u2019s Curia.<\/p>\n<p>The ochre-washed eighteenth-century fa\u00e7ade is opened by a simple stone portal with a tympanum carrying the Franciscan coat of arms, and a shaped window which interrupts the cornice, supported by four pilasters.<\/p>\n<p>The single nave interior, with original terracotta flooring, has four side chapels with marble balustrades and interesting scagliola stone frontals, two of which carry the signature of Intelvi Valley artist Giovanni Battista Rapa and the date 1740. As you enter, on the right, there is a chapel dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, followed by the Crucifix chapel, which in a side niche houses a statue of <em>Our Lady of Sorrows<\/em> with its processional canopy. On the left of the entrance you meet the chapel of St. Miro (with a statue donated by Marquis Tentorio), in Baroque style, followed by that of Our Lady Immaculate. The polygonal apse is dominated by a painting of the <em>Crucified Christ with Saints<\/em>, with two stained glass windows depicting <em>St. Francis<\/em> and <em>St. Miro <\/em>oneither side; on the side walls of the presbytery there are two valuable seventeenth century paintings with the <em>Transitus of St. Anthony of Padua<\/em> and the <em>Miracle of the reattached foot<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Worthy of note are two eighteenth-century frescoes on the ceiling of the nave with <em>The dream of St. Francis<\/em> and the <em>Glory of St. Francis and St. Miro<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The choir gallery is on the counter-facade complete with the organ placed there in 1822.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Monastic Oasis<\/b>\u00a0Piazza S.

Michele (St. Michael) stands on a wide step as its base in a small clearing shaded by three (originally four) large linden trees. Built according to a hexagonal plan and topped by a small bell gable, it has four windows and a front door, protected by a wrought iron gate, which is generally closed. The lunette on the entrance carries the Latin inscription \u00ab<i>Hostem repellet impium opemque Pacis dirigat (Fight off the wicked enemy <\/i>[the devil]<i> and build a work of peace)<\/i>\u00bb<i>.<\/i> Inside, above the altar, hangs a painting of <i>St. Michael the Archangel<\/i>, holding a sword and scales &#8211; its iconographic attributes &#8211; in the act of crushing the devil, dominated by the invocation \u00ab<i>Sancte Michael ora pro nobis (Saint Michael pray for us)<\/i>\u00bb and, along the sides, the depiction of the <i>Corporal works of Mercy<\/i>. In 1928 the building underwent renovation funded by the Bonalumi Mosca family, owner of the adjacent property. Further consolidation and restoration works were carried out by the parish community in the last years of the last century. The place where the chapel stands is called the Lazzaretto, because it was used as a hospice during the cholera epidemic of 1863 (during which the then parish priest, Father Giacomo Minetti, distinguished himself for his dedication and generosity) and perhaps also during previous outbreaks of the infection.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Parish of\u00a0Canzo<\/b>\u00a0via Alla Chiesa 56; Tel. 031.68132<\/p>\n<p><b>Read here to know more about the chapel of<\/b> <b>S.

The upper part of its drainage basin is limited to the north by the Cresta di Cranno mountain ridge and the Colletta di Corni and Corni di Canzo (<i>Canzo\u2019s Horns<\/i>) mountains, to the east by Sasso Malascarpa and Prasanto, and to the south by mounts Rai, Cornizzolo and Pesora.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravella Valley is dominated by the <i>C\u00e8pp da l&#8217;Angua<\/i>, a large rocky subvertical outcrop consisting of Conchodon Dolomite. Its peculiar name may refer to the <i>Anguana<\/i>, a water nymph in Alpine mythology (known as <i>Gana<\/i> in Ladin culture); in the Middle Ages this cult was probably not assimilated into Christianity, but demonized, which would justify the second name of this rock in local dialect: <i>Scalf\u00ecn dal Diaul<\/i>, where <i>scalfin<\/i> stands for stocking sole &#8211; which it resembles \u2013 and <i>diaul<\/i> for devil.<\/p>\n<p>The entire Canzo\u2019s Horns &#8211; Ravella Valley area is of great naturalistic interest. One part falls under the \u201cForesta di Lombardia dei Corni di Canzo\u201d (<i>Canzo\u2019s Horns Lombardy Forest<\/i>), a vast mainly woodland complex which covers about 450 hectares, characterized by hop hornbeams, ash trees, sycamores, and, at higher altitudes, beeches, run by ERSAF (<i>Regional Agency for Services to Agriculture and Forestry<\/i>). The upper portions of the slopes, once used as pasture and now abandoned, were colonized mainly by a sparse hazelnut wood, accompanied by birches, goat willows and golden chain trees, with their elegant yellow raceme inflorescence. A portion of the left side of the valley\u2019s drainage basin is included in the <b>Sasso Malascarpa (<i>Mascarpa<\/i>)<\/b><b> Nature Reserve<\/b>, a Lombardy Region protected area of great geological and botanical interest. The landscape here is shaped by the slow and relentless dissolution exerted by rainwater on limestone rock, which led to the characteristic appearance of the Sasso (similar to a gigantic rocky wall) and the spectacular karst manifestations of furrowed fields, narrow and deep crevices, similar to the marks left on the ground by the wheels of a wagon. In the Canzo\u2019s Horns and Sasso Malascarpa area grows a particular kind of flora which includes precious plants typical of the craggy environment of the pre-alpine lakes\u2019 Insubric strip, such as the <em>Campanula raineri<\/em>, the yellow oxeye, the Insubric garlic and the <em>Physoplexys comosa<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravella Valley also holds evidence of human presence across the centuries. Until the first half of the twentieth century, many families active in farming and breeding of livestock were still living in the valley. Traces of these traditional activities have remained in rural buildings in Prim&#8217;Alpe (called Alpe Grasso, i.e. Fat Alp, for the abundance of forage) and Terz&#8217;Alpe (Alpe Piotti), and in the ruins that can still be seen in the Second&#8217;Alpe area (Alpe Betulli or Alpe del Sole, i.e. Alp of the Sun, due to its great sunlight exposure), Alpe Alto and Alpetto (the latter two on the slope of Mount Cornizzolo).<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the 50s of the last century, at Prim&#8217;Alpe, further to the acquisition by the Azienda di Stato per le Foreste Demaniali &#8211; ASFD (<i>State-Owned Forests Agency<\/i>), a nursery was created to produce essences (especially conifers) needed for the reforestation of former pastures and old agricultural terraces in the vicinity of the \u201cAlps\u201d. The ownership was then transferred in 1980 to the Lombardy Region, which nowadays runs it through the ERSAF. At present in the old nucleus of Prim&#8217;Alpe a Reserve Visitor Centre and a Centre for Environmental Education, active all-year round and managed by Legambiente, have been set up, and where it is also possible to buy refreshments and find accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Ravella Valley is the starting point for many footpaths and trails around the Canzo\u2019s Horns &#8211; Prasanto \u2013 Moregallo massif.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>ERSAF<\/b>\u00a0Corso Promessi Sposi 132, Lecco; Tel. 02.67404451; e-mail\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:lecco@ersaf.lombardia.it\">lecco@ersaf.lombardia.it<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Read here to know more about the Ravella Valley and its footpaths and trails<\/p>\n<p><\/b><a style=\"line-height: 1.6;\" title=\"Sito di ERSAF \u2013 Scheda Foresta di Lombardia Corni di Canzo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ersaf.lombardia.it\/servizi\/foreste\/foreste_fase02.aspx?ID=36\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ERSAF website \u2013 Canzo&#8217;s Horns Lombardy Forest<\/p>\n<p><\/a><a title=\"Sito del Comune di Canzo \u2013 Scheda Sentieri escursionistici\" href=\"http:\/\/www.comune.canzo.co.it\/sa\/sa_p_testo.php?idservizio=10031&#038;x=ff790c90f89f5bb3a526e2b568dbf63b\">Municipality of Canzo website \u2013 Hiking trails in the area of Canzo<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #323333;\"><b>For GIS cartography<\/p>\n<p><\/b><a style=\"line-height: 1.6;\" title=\"Sito della Comunit\u00e0 Montana Triangolo Lariano - Cartografia GIS\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cmtl.it\/gis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Triangolo Lariano Mountain Community &#8211; GIS cartography<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #323333;\"><b>To download the contents of the booklets on the sites of naturalist interest of the Triangolo Lariano<\/b> <i>Un Triangolo da scoprire<\/i>, by Silvia Fasana, published by the Triangolo Lariano Mountain Community (including those connected to our itinerary, i.e. Canzo\u2019s Horns and the Ravella Valley, Sasso Malascarpa, Mount Cornizzolo)<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"line-height: 1.6;\" title=\"Sito della Comunit\u00e0 Montana Triangolo Lariano - Pieghevoli\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cmtl.it\/csc-categorie.aspx?IDContenuto=2001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Triangolo Lariano Mountain Community &#8211; Booklets<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p><a title=\"Canzo 1 Stage 4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.camminacitta.it\/en\/canzo-citta\/canzo-percorso-1\/canzo-1-tappa-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Stage\u00a04 &#8211; From Gajum to the Strine of S.

We are talking of the Ravella Valley Geological Trail in Canzo, one of the first and most popular themed walking trails of the Prealps, set up in the early 80s of the last century by the Gruppo Naturalistico della Brianza (<i>Brianza Naturalist Society<\/i>) to acquaint people with some of the most interesting geological aspects of the area. The track was subject to extraordinary maintenance in 2003, with the installation of new and extremely detailed information panels by the ERSAF (<i>Regional Agency for Services to Agriculture and Forestry<\/i>) section of Erba, in collaboration with the Municipality of Canzo, the Triangolo Lariano Mountain Community, the Provincial Authority of Como and the Brianza Naturalist Society. On this occasion, the trail has been dedicated to its creator, Swiss journalist George Achermann, the late founder of the historic local environmental organization, to remember his great work to raise awareness towards the protection of nature \u201cin our own home\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Geological Trail begins in Gajum, develops along the bottom of the Ravella stream valley and ends at the Terz&#8217;Alpe Hut, amidst meadows and pastures, at the foot of Canzo\u2019s Horns. The first part of the route follows an old mule-track, the surface of which was originally made with pebbles from the stream bed; this type of paving is called <i>risci\u00f2l <\/i>in local dialect. The second part is a dirt track, nonetheless quite easy to walk upon.<\/p>\n<p>The hiker is accompanied along the way by a series of panels introduced by a cute cartoon character, a mouse by the name of Geofilo Chiacchierino (which can be roughly translated as Geophile Chatty), who illustrates the 14 most interesting \u201cgeological events\u201d, making the visit more enjoyable to children.<\/p>\n<p>In an hour and a half\u2019s walk one can imagine to retrace the entire geological history of local territory. You can see the stratified limestone rocks of marine origin, typical of the Triangolo Lariano, deposited on the bottom of an ancient ocean called Tethys, which occupied this area during the Mesozoic Era (250 million to 65 million years ago) (<i>Event no. 6 &#8211; Marine sedimentary rocks, Event no. 2 \u2013 Submarine landslide and \u201cslump\u201d, Event no. 4 &#8211; Majolica, Event no. 7 &#8211; Flints<\/i>). \u201cMementos\u201d of this expanse of water and its inhabitants can also be found in the numerous fossils present in the sedimentary rocks of our mountains, such as the remains of Coral colonies and Ammonites, Molluscs with planespiral shells (<i>Event no.1 \u2013 Coral limestone, Event no. 8 \u2013 Lombard Red Ammonitic Limestone<\/i>). Ultimately this ancient sea was closed off, due to the collision between the European and African continents and the subsequent formation of the Alps, culminating in the Cenozoic Era (65 to 1.8 million years ago). The rocks of the seabed thus emerged from the water, suffering intense folding, thrust faults, fractures that have disrupted the original layout. In more recent geologic times, i.e. the Quaternary Era (1.8 million years ago to the present day), due to the extension of climate changes, the area has been repeatedly affected by the expansion of large glacial flows coming from the Valtellina and its lateral valleys; these have shaped the land with intense erosion processes, and, as they drew back, have left piles of rocky debris. Individual isolated blocks of considerable size, transported and deposited by glaciers, are called \u201cerratics\u201d or \u201cboulders\u201d. They are made of rocks usually very different from those upon which they rest, such as serpentinite (<i>Event no. 11 &#8211; Serpentinite<\/i>), granite and gneiss (<i>Event no. 10 \u2013 \u201cGhiandone\u201d Granodiorite<\/i>), and are particularly common in the Ravella Valley area.<\/p>\n<p>Along the trail there is also a \u201cpetrifying spring\u201d (<i>Event no. 12 &#8211; Petrifying springs<\/i>), or, rather, a \u201cpetrifying waterfall\u201d, an interesting humid environment where the deposition of mineral salts dissolved in water (particularly calcium carbonates and magnesium) takes place in the shape of concretions that can incorporate moss, leaves, twigs and herbs. The result being the spongy-looking and ivory-hazel coloured \u201ccalcareous tufa\u201d. Petrifying springs are very rare and precious habitats from the naturalist point of view, so much so that in 1992 they were included in the European Union\u2019s \u201cHabitat Directive\u201d.

Miro al Monte is a small stone building, with a simple gable fa\u00e7ade preceded by a recently rebuilt portico with three arches. There is a head and shoulders figure of <i>St. Miro<\/i> with his arms open in the lunette of the entrance portal, accompanied by the words \u00ab<i>And you shall have water<\/i>\u00bb, in remembrance of the last words he said in Canzo before leaving for Upper Lake Como, where he died. The interior is simple and secluded: on the main altar stands a seventeenth century altarpiece depicting the <i>Madonna and Child with St. Miro<\/i> (left) and <i>St. Roch<\/i> (right), surrounded by a rich stucco decoration with caryatids at the sides. The walls are frescoed with great <i>Scenes from the life of St. Miro<\/i>, painted by the artist Albertazzi in the 50s of the last century.<\/p>\n<p>The Shrine was built starting in 1643 on the site where tradition has it that the hermitage of St. Miro Paredi once stood. The building, funded by donations of local devotees of the Saint, could be completed only in 1660. Beside the church you can see a small two-storey building, home to a number of monks probably connected to the nearby monastery of S. Francesco, until it was suppressed at the end of the eighteenth century. The monks cultivated medicinal plants on small mounds, which are still visible, made with dry stone walls on the opposite side of the Ravella stream (\u201c<i>Giardin di Fra\u00e0<\/i>\u201d, i.e. \u201c<i>The Garden of the Brothers<\/i>\u201d). From the second half of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century the structure was left in a state of disrepair; in the following century restoration and conservative adaptation works were carried out on a number of occasions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Monastic Oasis<\/b>\u00a0Piazza S.

The most comprehensive information on his life can be found in the biography published in Milan in 1723 by Somascan Father Giuseppe Maria Stampa, who came from Gravedona, which incorporates even older sources.<\/p>\n<p>Popular tradition has it that Miro Paredi was born in Second&#8217;Alpe in 1336 (although recent historical studies are more inclined to place his birth date in the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century) to elderly parents, Erasmus and Drusiana, the latter from Prata Camportaccio. His name, Immiro or Miro, would in fact mean \u201cborn in a wonderful way\u201d, given the age of his parents. On the place of his birth, in 1986 the Canzo Association of Hunters created a chapel dedicated to his memory. Left motherless at an early age, his father, before he died, asked a hermit who lived in Scarenna to take care of Miro, who remained with him for about twenty years. At the death of his master, Miro retired in the Ravella Valley, where he took up residence in a cave under the <i>C\u00e8pp da l&#8217;Angua<\/i>. He lived some years in meditation and prayer, feeding on herbs, roots, wild fruits and the alms of the many pilgrims who went up to him for advice. If need be, he went down to Canzo to bless the sick, assist the dying and settle any quarrels.<\/p>\n<p>He then went on pilgrimage to Rome along the Via Francigena, to venerate the tombs of the martyrs. Biographers narrate that during the stops along the way he took interest in the people he met, soothing their sorrows and offering valuable spiritual advice. Having run into three poor orphans, he is said to have taken them with him to Rome to find suitable accommodation. On the way back he was hosted in S. Giorgio di Lomellina (PV) by the large family of a poor peasant; having learned of the terrible drought that plagued the country, Miro led the people in prayer and acts of penance, until shortly after came the long-awaited rain.<\/p>\n<p>Back in Canzo, he returned to his life as a hermit: his reputation for holiness soon spread throughout the Triangolo Lariano. Old age and the premonition of impending death prompted him to look elsewhere for a place to spend his last days in peace. He therefore decided to go and see the places of origin of his mother in Upper Lake Como. Before leaving his native village, he wanted to greet his fellow villagers gathered under a porch (which no longer exists) called the <i>Cuerc<\/i> and asked them what they wanted as a gift. \u00ab<i>Water<\/i>\u00bb, said a child in his mother&#8217;s arms, and he replied with the famous words: \u00ab<i>And you shall have water!<\/i>\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>He is said to have walked down to Onno, and that, at the ferryman\u2019s refusal to carry him out of charity, he spread his cloak upon the water of the lake and miraculously arrived in Mandello. He would have then continued his journey to Sorico, retiring as a hermit near the old church of S. Michele, where he died shortly after. As established in 1456 by bishop Pusterla of Como, his feast is celebrated on the second Friday of May.<\/p>\n<p>Saint Miro was invoked for rain and against floods, plague, and deaths in childbirth. Many are the miracles attributed to him: according to local tradition he would also have made water flow out of the rock at the base of the cave which he used as a shelter, near the Shrine later erected in his honour.<\/p>\n<p>This wellspring is considered sacred by the people of Canzo, and its water was used to cure diseases.<\/p>\n<p>He is traditionally depicted dressed as a pilgrim, with a stick and a water bottle.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Monastic Oasis<\/b>\u00a0Piazza S.

The land was sold to Magni by the Gavazzi family, local silk factory owners of noble lineage.<\/p>\n<p>It is certainly the most renowned and representative villa in Canzo; it has the shape of a fairytale castle, complete with turret, balconies and terraces, built in grey Vicenza stone ashlars. This material originated from the city where Magni used to live and the workers employed in the construction came. Inside, each room has a different shape and its own architectural style. \u00ab<i>A limonaia leads from the rooms to the library.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century the Verza mill employed about 1300 workers, thus becoming one of the leading enterprises in Lombardy with regard to number of staff and manufacturing capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Studies and documents confirm that, as early as the mid-17<sup>th<\/sup> century and up to the mid-18<sup>th<\/sup> century, Canzo was one of the richest and most important manufacturing centres of Lombardy as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>The complex was then restored in 1820 by Giuseppe Bovara together with the adjoining manor house at street number 82 which, in the courtyard, still retains the central front, with a porch on the ground floor and Ionic pilasters in the upper ones.<\/p>\n<p>A portion of the property, including the manor house, passed on to the Conti-Valsecchi family, who for some time continued to use moving water through the construction of a small turbine; here is where the \u201cHouse Museum\u201d (as art critic Vittorio Sgarbi defined it) of contemporary painters Walter Cremonini and Ietta Buttini is located.<\/p>\n<p>Another portion of the complex was purchased by Salvatore Fiume, the great Italian twentieth century painter. The artist settled in Canzo in 1946, adapting part of the old mill (of which you can still see the old brick chimney) as his workshop, which in 1952 also became his residence. The workshop is now the home of the \u201cSalvatore Fiume\u201d foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab<i>The spaces of the former factory have a welcoming effect on the visitor, presenting themselves as a true artist&#8217;s workshop, where everything is still intact. The visitor is then led by the premises themselves into the intimacy of Fiume\u2019s artistic journey and at the heart of his philosophy, and may appreciate the works where they were conceived and generated. The works of Fiume can be found in some of the most important museums in the world, such as the Vatican Museums, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the MoMA in New York, the Pu\u0161kin Museum in Moscow and the Galleria d&#8217;Arte Moderna in Milan<\/i>\u00bb (source: <a href=\"http:\/\/cultura.provincia.como.it\/cultura\/sistemamuseale\/\"><span style=\"color: #0433ff;\">http:\/\/cultura.provincia.como.it\/cultura\/sistemamuseale\/<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Another part of the complex has been divided into several private properties.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Contacts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fondazione Fiume<\/b>\u00a0via Alessandro Verza 68, Canzo; e-mail\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@laurafiume.it\">info@laurafiume.it<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Read here to know more about<\/b> <b>Salvatore Fiume and Canzo:<\/p>\n<p><\/b><a style=\"line-height: 1.6;\" title=\"Wikipedia \u2013 Scheda Salvatore Fiume\" href=\"http:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Salvatore_Fiume\u200e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wikipedia \u2013 Salvatore Fiume<\/p>\n<p><\/a><a style=\"line-height: 1.6;\" title=\"Sito ufficiale di Salvatore Fiume\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fiume.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Salvatore Fiume official website<\/p>\n<p><\/a><a title=\"Sito del Sistema Museale della provincia di Como \u2013 Scheda della Collezione Fiume\" href=\"http:\/\/cultura.provincia.como.it\/cultura\/sistemamuseale\/nScheda.asp?CODICE=MC075&amp;CDIT=SM53&amp;Info=Yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Province of Como Museum network website \u2013 Fiume Collection<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\"><li  role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-1121d9123b9a0b64217\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-1121d9123b9a0b64217\" href=\"#tab-1121d9123b9a0b64217\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">The Milano - Erba - Asso line of Ferrovie Nord Milano<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-1121d9123b9a0b64217\" id=\"tab-1121d9123b9a0b64217\"><div class=\"awb-tab-pane-inner\">\n<div style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.camminacitta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/STAZIONE-FNM-CANZO.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.camminacitta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/STAZIONE-FNM-CANZO.jpg?resize=400%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stazione FNM a Canzo\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.camminacitta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/STAZIONE-FNM-CANZO.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.camminacitta.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/STAZIONE-FNM-CANZO.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The Milano &#8211; Erba &#8211; Asso line of Ferrovie Nord Milano<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Description<\/span><\/p>\n<p>(Salvo Bodonaro, Roberto Ghioldi)<\/p>\n<p>Canzo and Asso are at the centre of the Ferrovie Nord Milano (<em>Northern Milan Railways<\/em>) network. Although geographically this statement may seem to be out of place, in actual fact it is not like that at all, at least from a historical point of view.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to bring the train to upper Brianza is at the origins of the railway track system which over time would become one of most important local transport networks in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Before taking the famous name of \u201c<i>Ferrovie Nord Milano<\/i>\u201d<i> (Northern Milan Railways)<\/i> (1883), it was called \u201c<i>Societ\u00e0 Anonima delle Ferrovie Milano-Saronno e Milano-Erba<\/i>\u201d and it was on these two sections that its founder &#8211; Belgian engineer Albert Vaucamp &#8211; started this railway service, which later proved so valuable to the economy, culture and development of large portions of the Lombard territory.<\/p>\n<p>The specific project (with terminus at Erba-Incino) was drawn up by engineers Bianchi and Campiglio, and the first train arrived in this city of Brianza on December 31<sup>st<\/sup> 1879, at a station which is no longer in existence.<\/p>\n<p>The current station of Erba is in fact different from the original, as the extension of the railway line to Canzo-Asso involved its complete reconstruction in a different location, although not very far away.<\/p>\n<p>The idea to extend the line to the Vallassina was debated for a long time, and implemented only in the 20s of the last century (also due to the Great War) at the time of the greatest expansion of the Northern Milan Railways network.<\/p>\n<p>The new section was inaugurated on June 15<sup>th<\/sup> 1922, after just two years of work. A truly prestigious achievement when you consider the constructive engagement represented by numerous works of art, including the \u2013 then &#8211; longest tunnel of the entire network, the bridge over the river Lambro, and a decidedly steep path along its entire length.<\/p>\n<p>The terminus of Canzo-Asso and the stops of Canzo, Caslino d\u2019Erba, Pontelambro &#8211; Castelmarte and Lezza &#8211; Carpesino thus fulfil an ambitious infrastructural project started many decades before, hopefully destined to last much longer given its irreplaceable function as umbilical cord with Milan.<\/p>\n<p>And to think that it is an \u201cunfinished\u201d business, as the original plan was to take the railway line to Bellagio. Anyway, while the latter village was not particularly bothered, Canzo and Asso had a reason to smile, having found themselves in the unexpected role of terminus of those tourist flows that the Belle \u00c9poque generously dispensed at least until the outbreak of the First World War.<\/p>\n<p>In 1929 overhead line electrification was installed on the entire line and the old steam engines were definitively replaced by flaming new EB 700 series electric locomotives and towed railcars which, with a long list of variants and descendants, have ensured services until the advent of the modern complex double-decker EMU trains (called TAFs and TSRs) at the start of the new millennium, which still dominate unchallenged the passenger services along the route now run by TRENORD.<\/p>\n<p>The station of Canzo (now an intermediate stop) and the terminus of Canzo-Asso were built during the extension of the line in the early &#8217;20s of the last century. Albeit each with a different emphasis in accordance with their functional hierarchy, both show the canons of a sober and elegant Liberty style, fittingly expressing the dignity and importance of public rail services.<\/p>\n<p><b>Read here to know more about<\/b> <b>the Milano &#8211; Erba &#8211; Asso line of Northern Milan Railways and the two stations of Canzo and Canzo-Asso:<\/p>\n<p><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stazione_di_Canzo\">Wikipedia &#8211; Milano &#8211; Asso Railway<b><\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/a><a title=\"Wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stazione_di_Canzo-Asso\">Wikipedia &#8211; Canzo Railway Station<\/a><a style=\"color: #999999;\" title=\"Wikipedia -
