THE TOWN OF CRAVAGLIANA<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The name derives from Latin, and indicates the rocky cracks that characterise the territory adjacent to the village. The municipality of Cravagliana has numerous hamlets: Casone, Giavinali, Canera, Molino, Nosuggio, Grassura, Pianaronda, Roncaccio, Upper and Lower Sassello, Ordovago, Meula, Ferrera, Saliceto, Voi, Gula, Dietro la Sella, Upper and Lower Valbella, Brugaro, Brugarolo, Selva, Bocciolaro and Colla<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parish church is dedicated to St. Mary of the Assumption and to St. Stephen<\/mark><\/strong>. It is the oldest church in the area, as reported by several studies that mention it as early as the 13th century. Externally it is frescoed with a large painting of St. Christopher, and inside there are numerous carved wooden works dating back to the 17th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sanctuary of the Tizzone<\/mark><\/strong>, which can be reached via a mule track and is surrounded by a beautiful chestnut wood, is of great artistic interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A TOWN WITH CURIOUS DETAILS <\/strong><\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The village of Cravagliana is known for being the birthplace of Giovanni Battista Lorenzo Bogino<\/strong> (1701 – 1784), politician and Minister for Affairs at the Court of Charles Emmanuel III, and of Giacomo Ginotti (1845 – 1897), an important Valsesian sculptor known in the most famous Italian and European courts of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 18th century, there was a well-developed circuit of mines for ironworking<\/strong> that was exploited until the early 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The village of Cravagliana, with its numerous hamlets that extend up to the high alpine pastures is among the largest in Valsesia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
