Craveggia straddles the Melezzo Orientale valley in Piedmont’s Val Vigezzo, and its position in an Alpine corridor toward the Swiss border has shaped a community long accustomed to mountain travel. Its streets retain stone-and-plaster houses alongside more imposing residences, reflecting a valley where many families historically sought work abroad. Val Vigezzo is closely associated with itinerant chimney sweeps, a demanding trade that took local workers to cities across northern Italy and Europe. Forested slopes rise from the valley floor, while the wider Ossola area connects with the Toce valley.
