It's a wide and open valley, with many villages hidden between
beech trees and chestnut woods. Before flowing in the Lake
Maggiore Maggiore, the Boesio Brook cross it. It is encircled
by Campo dei Fiori (1226 mt), to the south, and Sasso del
Ferro (1062 mt), Mount Nudo (1295 mt), Mount della Colonna
(1203 mt) and Mount San Martino (1087 mt) to the north.
In the Mombello and Cavona peat-bogs have been discovered
some pile-dwelling settlements of the Bronze Age. Unfortunately,
the archeological finds have been lost. Nevertheless, everybody
believes that the Valcuvia Valley was uninterruptedly inhabited
from the Prehistoric Age to that Gauls one and to the Romans
of the 1st century B.C.
Some village of the Valcuvia Valley, such as Calariate
(Caravate), Azemondo (Gemonio), Cuvigl (Cuveglio),
Olino (Orino), Aci (Azzio), have been related
in a parchment dated 712 in which all the estates in Valcuvia
Valley belonging to the convent of S. Pietro in Ciel d'Oro
in Pavia were listed.
The towns of Azzio, Brenta,
Casalzuigno,
Cassano Valcuvia, Cittiglio,
Cuveglio,
Cuvio, Duno,
Masciago Primo e
Rancio Valcuvia
are in the Valcuvia Valley.
