It is the first district encountered by those entering the historic center coming from Colico. The entrance is marked by an arched door, built in the 18th century in honor of a commissioner from the Grisons. The height of the houses facing the gently sloping street is nearly uniform, ranging from three to four stories. The most interesting part of these homes, dating from the 16th to the 18th century, is the ground floor, which features portals framed with exquisite soapstone motifs. This is due, in addition to the locals' particular sensitivity to stonework, to the limited "width" of the street, which does not allow for high views. This spatial continuity is interrupted by the widening of the street at the church of Santa Maria, compared to the continuous row of houses. There are numerous buildings of great artistic value along this street. Also of interest are the 16th and 17th-century epigraphs: some in Latin, others in Italian.

Beautiful view of the Mera from the bridge.

The "sorel" blows between the cracks of these rocks, a current of air at a constant temperature of around 8°C, therefore warm in winter and cool in summer. This current of air is the element from which the peculiarity of the crotto derives, making it an ideal environment both for the maturation of wine, since there is no variation in temperature, and for the maturing of salami and sausages, starting with bresaola, and cheeses, both Alpine and dairy. Those of Prata Camportaccio are among the most characteristic.

Chiesa die Santa Maria, Chiavenna since 1327 The Church of St. Mary dates from 1327, but was rebuilt and is now an important example of Baroque architecture from the Val Chiavenna. The name of the church was transferred to the entire district and also to the city gate of the same name (Portone), which was built in 1741 in honor of the Graubünden commissioner Ercole Salis.

Chiavenna Chiavenna was already a town in 1030. In the 12th century, it cleverly used its friendship with Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa to negotiate benefits and privileges for itself. Chiavenna was also the place where the emperor asked his cousin Henry the Lion, Duke of Bavaria and Saxony, for military help before the Battle of Legnano, but to no avail. During this time, the Bishop of Chur first claimed the area around Chiavenna, which was under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Como, and in 1178 advanced over the Alps to Plurs. In 1335, Chiavenna and the territory of the Diocese of Como passed to the Visconti of Milan. Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian and ten years later King Charles IV decreed that the County of Chiavenna should be under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Chur, but their order was ineffective. Throughout the 15th century, the valleys of Chiavenna were the fiefdom of the Balbiani from Varenna. In 1477, the nearby municipality of Plurs paid the ground rents that they had to pay to the Lords of Werdenberg-Sargans for the pastures in the Valle di Lei. In June 1486, an army of Graubünden took advantage of Pope Innocent VIII's call to fight the Sforza, who had replaced the Visconti in Milan, to advance into the Val San Giacomo and as far as Plurs. They only retreated after Chiavenna had been set on fire and livestock and farm equipment had been captured. In mid-February 1487, 600 Graubünden troops again tried to advance from the Splügen Pass and from Bergell, as well as from Piattamala in the Valtellina; they were repulsed. However, they managed to break through from Livigno, defeating the Valtellina at Sondrio. Then Louis the Moor, Duke of Milan, rushed to help and had fortification walls built around Chiavenna and the main centres of the Valtellina. They were built between 1488 and 1492 with financial help from the various municipalities of the county, but were no longer needed by 1512 when, after twelve years of French rule, Chiavenna and the valley were annexed by the Three Leagues: while the Swiss cantons supported Pope Julius II and the Holy League, the army of the Church League under Conrad von Planta attacked Chiavenna on 22 May 1512; the other two leagues advanced into the Valtellina.

Chiavenna Located at the intersection of the Bergell and the Val San Giacomo, Chiavenna (formerly German Cläven, Kleven) is the center of the Valchiavenna, which together with the Valtellina makes up the present-day Italian province of Sondrio. Chiavenna, mentioned in the Itinerarium Antonini and in the Peutinger Table as Clavenna, was conquered by Augustus' troops in 16 BC and connected to Chur by two roads - one over the Splügen Pass, the other over the Septimer, Maloja and Julier Pass. The county probably came into being in the 10th century, at the beginning of the reign of Otto I, who in 960 assigned the Bergell from Villa upwards to the diocese of Chur and thus drew the border line between Italy and Switzerland that is still valid today.
