Livigno and the Parish Church of S. Maria Nascente (SO) - Livigno Valley - Lombardy

Livigno is a unique location of its kind. A place where history and beauty come together in a fascinating union. 1854, with the Treaty of Vienna, Livigno was declared a free zone, an oasis of economic freedom. An island in the sea of ​​taxes and customs duties. However, this condition did not last long; during the fascist period, Livigno temporarily lost its status as a free zone.


However, thanks to the intervention of Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi in 1952, Livigno regained its economic freedom.

And since then, Livigno has prospered. It is a place where tourists crowd its streets, attracted by its natural wonders and tax breaks. It is a renowned tourist location but also an important commercial center. Its strategic position on the border between Italy, Switzerland, and Austria makes it a meeting point for traders worldwide.

But Livigno is not just economics; it is also culture and spirituality. The Church of Santa Maria Nascente, an architectural jewel that dates back to 1300, is a point of reference for the community of Livigno. Over the centuries, the church has undergone numerous renovations but has kept its beauty and charm intact.

The bell tower, dating back to 1600, has been restored over the centuries, and its bells still ring today, marking the passage of time.


A visit to Livigno cannot ignore the discovery of this church. The architectural details, works of art, and history that can be felt within its walls deserve an in-depth visit.

Livigno is a place that enchants and surprises, a place where creativity and originality blend with history and tradition.
