A typical village in the Bergamo mountains.

There are not many historical information regarding the village of Valsecca: located at the head of the Imagna valley, at the foot of the Quarenghi peak, one of the peaks of Mount Resegone, in a secluded position from the main centers, it has always maintained the characteristics of the small mountain village , with its inhabitants mostly dedicated to living off what nature provided them. Consequently, the main activities have always been those of the shepherd, the breeder, the woodcutter and the charcoal burner, or rather the one who transformed the wood into charcoal.

The etymological origin of the name is still not clear today since, contrary to what the name would indicate, the territory is very rich in water.

The origins of the town should in any case date back to the medieval period when the territory, hitherto scarcely populated, saw an increase in housing due to the struggles between Guelphs and Ghibellines.

These in fact forced some exponents of one or the other faction (although the valley was considered a sort of Guelph fiefdom) to abandon their places of origin and move to places sheltered from adverse persecutions, including precisely the area of Valsecca, where numerous small districts were established, including Feniletto, Butella, Roccolo, Fraccio, Cornello, Carevi, Capagnone and Costa.
