Art and Culture

The small resort of Druogno has it all to fascinate the tourist. Open spaces, the stillness, the typical “baita” (Alpine refuges) of Ossola in rough stones and roof covered with “pioda” (smooth rock slabs), the church of San Silvestro with the wonderful frescoed presbytery, are some of its natural endowments. In Valle Vigezzo, you will also find the Museo dello Spazzacamino (Chimney-sweep Museum): every year, nearly one thousand chimneysweeps coming from all over the world meet in a traditional gathering. In 5 minutes by car, you can reach the famous Shrine of the Madonna del Sangue of Re important monument protecting the miracle during the Counter-Reformation period and attracting thousands of pilgrims every year.
