While meandering through parts of the magnificent Val d'Ossola you will experience unique places resplendent with natural beauty and, historic, antique, man-made beauty. You will be among the "first" from the "new world" to paint in the surrounding mountains and attend seminars in the Scuola di Belle Arti Rossetti Valentini. You will be among the "first" from the "new world" to learn about Valentini, Enrico Cavalli, and other artists who were instrumental in bringing the arts to the people of Valle Vigezzo. Your tour will bring you to small, quaint churches, and large, imposing Sanctuaries within Val d'Ossola. Your tour will also bring you to Milano, a "diverse beauty."
