La Dolce Corte

Brenta, connected to Cittiglio, sits at the entrance to Valcuvia along the main road leading to Luino. The earliest reliable records of Brenta date back to the mid-1700s. After various territorial reorganisations in the Valcuvia area, Brenta became the dominant municipality united with Casalzuigno, Cittiglio and Vararo in 1809. It only gained autonomy as a separate municipality in 1952. Today it has around 1800 inhabitants. For some years now, Brenta has become known as the village of open-air mosaics, thanks to mosaic artist Arend who lives here and the commitment of the local administration and residents. The walls of this small village have taken on a new beauty. La Dolce Corte has been completely restored in recent years and is ready to welcome its guests.
