Schilpario, Italian comune
Schilpario is a commune in the province of Bergamo in Lombardy. The village sits in a valley surrounded by hills, farmland, and forests, featuring traditional stone buildings that characterize the area.
The village was founded in ancient times when settlers drained the marshlands and established a community here. In the Middle Ages and beyond, it developed as a farming settlement that has endured to the present day.
The name comes from a Latin word for reeds, reflecting its origins in a marshy area. This heritage still shapes the landscape today with its wet meadows and water channels.
The village is best explored on foot, as its narrow lanes are easy to navigate and the place remains manageable in size. The best time to visit is during warmer months when paths are dry and the surrounding nature is active.
The area surrounding the village is rich in mushroom foraging spots that attract both visitors and locals, especially in autumn. This tradition runs so deep that many families pass down their knowledge of mushroom varieties from generation to generation.
