Torre di Santa Maria

Torre di Santa Maria combines the intimate scale of an Alpine comune with the expansive terrain of Valmalenco, reflecting its position in Lombardy’s central Alps. Set in the Mallero River valley above Sondrio, it belongs to the route leading deeper toward the high ground below the Bernina Alps. The settlement helps explain Valmalenco’s long association with mountain pastures, stonework and pietra ollare, or soapstone, traditionally shaped into household vessels. Its streets and scattered hamlets retain the working character of a valley community rather than that of a resort centre.
