Memories of Guelphs and Ghibellines among mountain landscapes

Valle Camonica, a beautiful valley in the Italian Alps where you can correlate its wonderful green furrowed by the blue river with the bloody and indelible traces of its past, such as those left by two opposing factions of the late Middle Ages; the Guelphs and Ghibellines. We retrace among castles and ruins events in history that made this valley a place of the clash between these two factions.

Entrance tickets are not required along this tour, but it is recommended checking accessibility in person since it may vary seasonally. The route on our map is only approximate; we suggest using the navigation button for each chapter that provides a direct link to Google Maps.

This itinerary covers sections of unpaved paths/trails, even uphill, so comfortable clothes, hiking shoes and enough water and food are recommended (don’t forget sunscreen for the summer months!).
