Update September 2025: Fieschi Castle is temporarily closed for renovations

A small, quiet town in the Vara Valley. A good starting point for a circular tour of Lunigiana (Rastrello Pass or Calzavitello Pass).

A beautiful mountain pass at 1,400 meters. There's a refuge, a small chapel, a monument—in short, everything you'd expect in a place like this. There's even a small clothing store. The only thing that's jarring is the constant noise of a combustion engine, which I assume is a generator for the refuge's operation.

The last 2.5 km are tough. Approximately 12-15% gradient at all times. Bring a headlamp; it's very foggy, even if there's virtually no traffic. The descent isn't particularly pleasant, as it's too steep and the road is too bad. But if you want a few more meters of elevation, the climb is a good option. There are no refreshment stops at the top.

The presence of the Counts of Lavagna in the territory of Varese dates back at least to the beginning of the 11th century; in 1161 they obtained the investiture from Emperor Frederick I. At the end of the 12th century, two branches of the Counts - Fieschi and Pinelli - settled in the current Cassego and from there they began to clear forests, build wooden buildings, sow, and start agriculture and livestock farming. Almost immediately the long season of conflicts between the two families began, when the Fieschis drove the Pinellis out of Cassego and forced them to take refuge in the nearby town of Carbello, where they built a tower called "Torre dei Pinelli". With a subsequent pact the two families divided the territory: the one to the west of the Torre belonged to the Fieschi family, the one to the east to the Pinelli family, while the lands beyond the Scagliana river remained joint property, that is, they were a comunaglia (hence the current toponym of Comuneglia).

The pass was an important border point between the Republic of Genoa, the Duchy of Parma and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany from 1573 to 1835.

The Mola Pass is an alternative to the parallel Bracco Pass with the advantage that the road is much less busy.

Passo 2 santi, known for its winter facilities, but it is also possible to stop in summer, there is a bar and restaurant and a way to stock up on water
