Faedo Valtellino

Hello friends, today I'll tell you about Faedo Valtellino

Good morning everyone! Today I'll talk to you about a very cute and picturesque village in the province of Sondrio, in Lombardy: Faedo Valtellino, also called "Faeet" in its dialect. This municipality of 510 inhabitants is located south of the capital, Sondrio.

Society

Talking about the village's life, I can tell you that the population has been quite stable over the years, with the exception of a slight decline in the 1980s. However, the village has maintained its characteristics and its mountain lifestyle. The stone buildings and the historic center that retain their original appearance are distinguished.

Demographic evolution

At the beginning of the 20th century, the population of the village was around 850 inhabitants, but it started to decrease over the years. However, in recent years, the number of residents has started to grow again thanks to the beauty of the landscape, the calmness of mountain life, and the rediscovery of local traditions. Take some time to visit the village, I assure you it's worth it.

Regarding administration, Faedo Valtellino has a mayor and a city council, like all Italian municipalities. The current mayor is Luca Alberti, who won the 2019 elections. The municipality extends over an area of 6.81 km² and borders with other municipalities in the area such as Talamona and Mantello.
