Excursions from Varallo Rima San Giuseppe: the Pietro della Vedovo museum of art and history is a plaster-cast gallery. where you can see a wonderful collection of chalk moulds from the works of the sculptor Pietro della Vedova. Carcoforo : it is situated in the middle of the pastoral valley and it’s extensive larch woods. It is also knows as “The Ideal Village of Italy”. Civiasco: one of the most gracious and aristocratic Valsesian towns and the only town in Valsesia which exhibits examples of perfectly preserved Spanish-Morrish art. The emigrants who left in 1700 made their fortunes in Spain and they brought back to their homeland this architectural style inspired by the Arabs – namely palaces imitating the buldings of Barcelona, Madrid and Saragossa. This impressive testament of the Spanish adventures is housed in the town museum. Riva Valdobbia: the only town in the valley from which you can enjoy an extensive panorama of the peak of Monte Rosa: a visit of the Parochial Church of San Michele, a national monument dating from 1326 is recommended. Alagna : an old “Walzer” settlement where the typically wooden dwellings are preserved intact. We recommend a visit to the Walzer Museum in the Pedemonte district, housed in a building dating from 1600, where are exhibited costumes, furnishings, worling equipment and other objects of everyday use which portrays the histoty and culture of the “Walzer” people.
