History of Celentino
Celentino was an autonomous municipality until 1928, when all the municipalities in the Val di Peio were merged into the new municipality of Peio. Celentino was the birthplace of the family of Odoardo Focherini, a man who was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations for saving the lives of many people during World War II. Additionally, Celentino is also the hometown of the family of Giovanni Arvedi, a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist.
