A beautiful introduction to Villa di Chiavenna
Hello friends! Today I want to talk to you about a beautiful Italian municipality located in Val Bregaglia, Lombardy. I'm talking about Villa di Chiavenna! This municipality has a population of around 950 people and is crossed by the Mera River, which creates an artificial basin that feeds a hydroelectric power plant. But let me tell you something about the history of Villa di Chiavenna.
Cultivating history
According to history, in 612 the Irish missionary and abbot Saint Columbanus crossed the Passo del Settimo and passed through Villa di Chiavenna during his mission to evangelize the Alemanni in Switzerland. Later, the municipality was created by the Grisons in 1584 and was divided from Piuro on December 10, 1608. In 1797, the municipality was forced to join the Cisalpine Republic by Napoleon's army, although it was not very happy about being separated from Switzerland. The coat of arms and flag of Villa di Chiavenna were granted by decree of the president of the Republic on April 9, 2008. The flag is a white banner.
