Carcoforo occupies the upper Val d’Egua, a narrow Alpine side valley of Valsesia in Piedmont. The Egua torrent runs down from the surrounding mountains before joining the Sesia farther east, placing the settlement within the wider drainage basin of the Po. Carcoforo is one of Valsesia’s Walser communities: German-speaking settlers crossed Alpine passes in the Middle Ages and left a lasting mark on local identity and building traditions. Its secluded setting remains closely linked to mountain pastures, footpaths and the seasonal pace of the high valley.
