a classic from the Varese area. It's worth it.

Cascata de la Froda Nasca,(Castelveccana) Castelveccana: Froda Waterfall The Froda waterfall is one of the hidden beauties of the province of Varese. Although it offers a truly spectacular show, in reality it is not as well known and reported as it deserves. But this makes it even more special for those who decide to discover it. After taking the path on the edge of the SP7, you will immediately immerse yourself in a very fascinating natural setting. The route is suitable for everyone and the children will certainly enjoy feeling like little explorers. It is advisable to wear mountain boots: along the path you will have to pass a short ford. In winter, special attention must be paid to ice. Once you arrive under the waterfall, you will be amazed: with its height of about 100 meters, it is a real wonder not to be missed, especially after heavy rains. But even with a slender jet it will amaze you ... An iron rope allows you to approach the waterfall without slipping.

Chiesa di san Giorgio, Sarigo The construction of the church began in the second half of the 12th century, in the Lombard Romanesque style. The building became an important place of worship for the parish of Valtravaglia, especially for the presence of the granite baptismal font, still present today and considered miraculous for centuries. The apse and bell tower of the small church are still intact, while some restorations have affected the central body of the structure. The decorations of the apse suggest influences from the Como area, in particular from Master Komacini. These decorations concern the pattern of the half-columns and the frame of the monoblock architects. The tall and massive bell tower is common to the other bell towers of Valtravaglia. At the back of the church is the cemetery of Sarigo.

Signs of unspeakable torture were found on all the bodies found, signs clearly visible in the photographs taken before the burial, in order to allow their recognition". Five corpses found in Cucco were identified, the other three still remain without a name. Giorgio Bocca wrote that in the history of the Italian Resistance the battle of San Martino occupies a place of its own and is configured as an episode of Risorgimento inspiration. The Italians also contributed to the defeat of the partisans perched on San Martino, from the Republican interpreter, remembered by the parish priest of Arcumeggia, Don Alberto Marchesi, to the "X MAS, some of whom were dressed like Germans", according to the testimony of Don Ulderico Belli, coadjutor of Cuveglio. However, Colonel Croce was not as naïve as some recent historiography would have us believe.

In reference to the events of San Martino, historical researcher Francesca Boldrini writes: "Only one partisan dies in battle, Italo Corazza, hit when he arrives at the barracks to warn his comrades of what happened at the summit and a few hundred Germans. The partisans, taken prisoner at the top of San Martino, Lieutenant Alfio Manciagli (Folco), the soldiers Osvaldo Brioschi, Giovanni Vacca, Angelo Ventura, Elvezio Rossi, Franco Ghezzi, Gianfranco Colombo, Giuseppe Pellegatta will be shot, after the battle, in front at the Cadorna Barracks; those captured during the battle and subsequently, especially the men of the 1st company placed to defend the lower tunnels who left the position when they were abandoned by their commanders, will suffer the same fate, after barbaric torture.

Eight corpses were found on 4 April 1944 in a mass grave, in the Cucco area, "near the Molino d'Anna electric railway station, under Bosco Valtravaglia", as testified by the then parish priest of Cuveglio Don Mario Bedetti. After an attempt at identification, the bodies were first buried in a mass grave in the Roggiano cemetery and then recomposed on 27 April 1945 in the Mesenzana cemetery. In their memory a shrine was erected next to which a commemorative plaque was placed to remember the tragic event of the battle of San Martino.
