Valvestino (

The abundance of pastures has always been significant for the village economy, dedicated to cattle raising that survives to the present, in summer mountain barns, with production of milk, from which famous cheeses and butter are obtained. Historically, the cores of the hamlets of Armo, Bollone, Moerna, Persone and Turano are crossings of small passages between peasants' high and narrow houses.[4]

Festival and events

• In August, Armo has the Feast of the Alpini (Alpine troops)
• A local variation of the traditional religious festival, Festa del Perdono ('Feast of Forgiveness') is held in Turano on the last Sunday of August each year. It commemorates the sojourn of the exiled Pope Alexander III, who in gratitude for the villagers' hospitality issued a Papal indulgence, for remission of sins, to the valley's inhabitiants. This tradition, although dating to at least the 15th century, is likely apocryphal.^[5]
