Mollia
Situated on the banks of the River Sesia, at the point where the valley narrows, Mollia is a pretty village nestled between scenic peaks.
THE TOWN OF MOLLIA AND ITS HAMLETS
The pretty town of Mollia achieved independence from the town of Campertogno in 1722. It is made up of small clusters of houses that stand close to the mountains.
After a visit to the parish church of St. John the Baptist, flanked by a portico beautifully frescoed with images of the Stations of the Cross, the old Fucina Mill deserves a visit. It is one of the most interesting sites in the Valsesia Ecomuseum, and one of the few still visible examples of a “seventeenth-century factory
The town of Mollia has ten small hamlets surrounded by vegetation (Curgo, Otra Sesia, Casa Capietto, Piana Toni, Piana Viana, Casacce, Piana Fontana, Molino, Goreto and Grampa) and linked by pleasant paths that offer enchanting views. The circular tour of the hamlets of Mollia, a pleasant route around the village, is the ideal way to discover them all.
lum AND ribebbe
For a long time, the municipalities of Riva Valdobbia and Mollia competed for the possession of Boccorio where, in ancient times, there were factories producing Lum (oil lamps) and Ribebbe, which are small musical instruments resembling mouth harps that were exported abroad and constituted one of the most profitable markets in the area.
