Gromo


Gromo arises on a rocky headland, surrounded by meadows and woods of fir trees, with its houses clustered around Ginami's castle.

The village was well-known in the past thanks to its iron and silver mines and its knifes factories, while nowadays it has a well-established tradition as regards tourism and winter sports. As a matter of fact its economy is based on summer and winter stay, in addition to wood carving and hydroelectric industry.

The historic centre shows considerable monuments, as Ginami's castle; the sixteenth-century town hall palace with its internal frescos on the arms-market; S. Gregorio's little church with a wonderful seventeenth-century altar piece by Enea Talpino; several fifteenth and sixteenth-century noble residences and the eighteenth-century parish church, dedicated to S. Giacomo and S. Vincenzo, with a precious Fantonian wood altar and valuable paintings and frescos.

Winter sports are gathered in the zone of Boario-Spiazzi-Vodala, where it is possible to practise alpine and cross-country skiing.



IN 2008 GROMO ACHIEVED THE "ORANGE FLAG", GIVEN BY THE ITALIAN TOURING CLUB, AND IT WAS SEEN FIT TO BE PART OF "I BORGHI PIU' BELLI D'ITALIA" ("The most beautiful villages in Italy").
