Piuro

Piuro occupies the floor of Val Bregaglia in northern Lombardy, where the Acquafraggia stream joins the Mera River. The village is closely associated with the Acquafraggia Waterfalls, a series of cascades dropping through wooded slopes above the valley. Its most consequential historical event was the 1618 collapse from Monte Conto, which buried the prosperous settlement then known as Plurs and caused devastating loss of life. Palazzo Vertemate Franchi, a 16th-century residence set above the valley floor, survived and preserves frescoed interiors and formal gardens. Today Piuro introduces travellers to the Alpine borderland around Chiavenna, shaped by water, steep terrain and cross-valley routes.
