A side valley of the Valtellina
The Valposchiavo is culturally and morphologically a side valley of the Valtellina in Italy. We speak the same language and eat the same foods as our Italian neighbors across the border. This makes it all the more curious that the Valposchiavo separated itself from the Bishopric of Como 1408 and joined the “League of God’s House“ union under the Bishopric of Chur.
