Marmentino

The landscape around Marmentino is mountainous and largely wooded, which has shaped both the dispersed settlement pattern and local pastoral economy. Set in the upper Val Trompia in Brescia province, the comune belongs to a Lombard Alpine valley whose main watercourse is the Mella River. Rather than an urban centre, Marmentino is a small mountain community of hamlets, with roads and farms following the folds of the terrain. Its regional identity is also tied to Nostrano Valtrompia DOP, a cow’s-milk cheese traditionally made in the valley. Val Trompia has long been associated with ironworking, an industry that helped define this part of Lombardy.
