Routes
A city to admire slowly
Imagine the noise produced by the wheels of the carts along the pavement, the creaking of the doors, the shouting of the people at the market and the women at the wash house.
Observe the buildings and their architectural continuity like a long cord that unites the entire urban layout.
Rest your hand on the perimeter walls and feel the roughness of the stone and the smoothness of the plaster.
Inhale the scents in the air that come from the kitchens of taverns and restaurants that seduce passersby with the flavours of a region full of surprises.
Let yourself be conquered by the unique and unrepeatable flavour of Bresaola della Valtellina PGI, which preserves the breath of the mountains and the wisdom of generations of taste artisans.

Sondrio is the capital where the life of the citizens of this province is administered. Yet, despite being home to banks, offices, and schools, it has an ancient soul that must be rediscovered calmly. Walk along the Via dei Palazzi to discover a village where daily life still takes place at a leisurely pace, and wooden doors open onto spacious courtyards. Admire the ancient noble houses with their baroque portals, vaulted entrances, and wrought iron balconies.
Take a detour and reach the district of Fracaiolo, where once upon a time women gathered at the wash house. Imagine being able to listen to their conversations and what it must have been like, in the city squares, the comings and goings of commerce, and the chatter of people at the market, when social media didn’t exist, and meetings meant stepping out onto the streets.
