Select a pianoro almost inacessibile from which you/they could dominate every street of slope and, qindi, to easily reject every attempt of assault, built you a log cabin, beginning their new life, isolated by the world, providing, at the beginning, to their maintenance with the products of the pastorizia. In such way the village of Monteviasco rose that if today it is not inhabited from brigands you/he/she has preserved intact its character of inacessibilità. | | | | | The road to reach the country stops him to Curiglia (from Varese, it follows him for Luino, Dumenza and Curiglia), where the funivia departs... yes because to the alpine village of Monteviasco he arrives only in funivia or afoot through a mulatiera that climbs almost perpendicularly. The walk is very fatiguing but you/he/she can be done. I recommend the slope of good morning in how much pleasant to reach the destination perceiving Monteviasco cuddled up on the slant of the mountain with the and houses seized on the ground and the narrow stradines of stone that have alone end among the woods will be even more then. Picked up on a morainic balcony, the country, to how much they reach him/it afoot, through the steep and rustic mulattiera, it is announced with terraced fields and forests castanili. The holds streets race among the set houses the one to the other, characterized from beautiful wooden (the lobbies) loggiati. On the walls of the houses Saints and Madonna, fruit of local artists, the passers-by bless.

The building that has suffered different transformations and amplifications, nellasua forms actual it goes up again to the first 900. | | | | Whoever won't be able whether to suffer the charm of these places in which the signs of a rural landscape remain dominated by parks and pastures.
