History
Strembo has a long history dating back to prehistoric times. In fact, remains of human settlements dating back to the Copper Age and the Bronze Age have been found in the area. Over the centuries, Strembo has undergone numerous invasions and dominations, including the Roman and Lombard ones. In the Middle Ages, the village was part of the County of Tyrol and suffered significant damage due to the numerous wars that ravaged the region. During the fascist period, Strembo underwent the construction of public works such as roads and canalization works of the Sarca River to prevent frequent floods.
Monuments and places of interest
Despite historical difficulties, some monuments of great interest survive in Strembo. The Church of Madonna della Neve, built in Ragada in Val di Genova in 1950-51, is an example of modern architecture that blends perfectly with the surrounding nature. The Church of San Tommaso, recorded in 1381, was rebuilt in the nineteenth century after being destroyed by a flood. Furthermore, Strembo is surrounded by unspoiled nature and the waterfalls of Val di Genova, which offer a unique spectacle.
Society
Strembo has a population of 608 inhabitants, most of whom are elderly. The community is very united and supportive, and boasts numerous associations that promote cultural and sporting activities. However, due to its isolated location and lack of infrastructure, Strembo suffers from progressive depopulation, especially among young people who prefer to migrate to big cities.

In recent decades, the population of Strembo has steadily decreased, from 913 inhabitants in 1951 to 608 in 2021. This worrying trend has prompted local authorities to promote policies aimed at reversing the trend, such as offering incentives to young couples who decide to settle in the village.

The municipality has its headquarters in the center of the village and is responsible for organizing essential services such as waste collection, road maintenance, and managing schools.
