The center of the Lombard Prealps is located in the lower Val di Scalve, on the right bank of the Dezzo stream, which descends from the homonymous valley and gives its name to the Val d'Angolo. Here you can admire forests of white and red firs and pastures with typical mountain huts. In summer, you can go on numerous nature hikes, while in winter the presence of ski lifts connected to those of Monte Pora is a tourist attraction.
History
Angolo Terme has a very ancient history: it was already an important mining center since the 4th century BC, and it was characterized as a center of agricultural and artisan production. Already from the 12th century, its history was closely linked to that of the noble family Federici, while in 1509 it appears in the map of the Valle Camonica, drawn by Leonardo da Vinci and kept at Windsor Castle. During the construction of the road to Val di Scalve, which is 13 km long, the Passo di Giogo was avoided, thanks to the project of the engineer Paolo Fiorini di Darfo. In 1923, unfortunately, several houses were damaged by the collapse of the Gleno dam, causing the death of 46 inhabitants.
