About Val Camonica
Valle Camonica (or also Valcamonica and, in the Camunian dialects, Al Camònega, poetic Camunia) is one of the largest valleys in the central Alps, in eastern Lombardy, about 90 km long. It starts from Passo del Tonale, at 1,883 m a.s.l. and ends at Corna Trentapassi near Pisogne, on Lake Iseo. It has an area of approximately 1335 km² and 120,000 inhabitants (2017). It is crossed in all its length by the high course of the Oglio river, which originates in Ponte di Legno and has its mouth in the Sebino between Pisogne and Costa Volpino. Valle Camonica's name is derived from the term in Latin language with which the classical writers in ancient times called the population who lived there: the Camuni.
