Two brand new itineraries guiding you towards the genuine charms of the village as you embark on a gentle Autumn outing. “La Via della Val Grande” and “via dei Crotti and Böc&´”. Yes indeed these are the names assigned to the tours inaugurated this summer in Mese. Appropriately signposted and ideal for gentle walking, they offer up a novel introduction to all that the village has to offer. La Via della Val Grande sets out from the Hydro-electric Plant, built in 1927 and opened by Prince Umberto di Savoia. The building is an essential feature of the village and its planning. It remains the largest plant in the province. Not far away is the church of San Vittore. First mentioned in records as far back as 1100, and dedicated to a soldier who was martyred in Milan in the 3rd century. The palazzetto Stampa is a rather good example of a farmhouse in the village. Also worthy of note is the beautiful clock face, a full metre in diameter which dominates the façade. The Via dei Crotti e dei Böc&´ will take you from Fontanin to the Crotti at Scandolera and throws up some fascinating glimpses of the village, each with its own story. Take the fresco of the Beata Vergine della Salute, dating back to 1871, still clearly visible on the façade of the Casa Dell’Acqua at 65 Via Scandolera. A “devotion” which was brought back by migrants to Venice on their return. The “casin” was the home of the curate. Decorations on the exterior suggest that the building dates back to the early 1800’s. Nearby is a delightful portal which embellishes the entrance to what was once the home of the notary Prevostini (1798).
