Bienno (BS) - One of the most beautiful villages in Italy - Camonica Valley - Lombardy

The village of Bienno is located in Val Camonica, Lombardy, and is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Its history is closely linked to the activity of iron artisans, which has ancient roots dating back to Roman times. However, it was during the Celtic period that this activity began.


The work of iron artisans in Bienno is characterized by hard work using the anvil and hammer. Only in the 10th century, with the arrival of the Benedictines, did water mills start to be used. It is discovered that the water wheel fits perfectly with the current of the Grigna stream for the operation of the hammer, and the artificial canal called "Vaso Re" begins to be built.

From that moment on, the ironworking activity became central throughout the area and continues today despite the crisis that hit the sector in the 19th century.


Today, it is possible to discover the industrial history of the village by visiting the places related to this activity and walking along the path of the "Vaso Re," traced by the water.

However, Bienno is not only famous for its ironworking activity. Its medieval center, with mighty stone walls, narrow alleys, tall houses, original portals decorated with friezes and coats of arms carved in stone, Renaissance palaces with elegant loggias, churches, and well-preserved tall towers, offers a unique atmosphere.


During the last week of August, the village comes alive with a magical event illuminated by torches.

The Craft and Antiques Market Exhibition is attended by hundreds of exhibitors from all over Europe. Along the path in the picturesque historic center, you can admire the creations of artisans and artistic artifacts.
