The Painters and the Traditions of the Vigezzo Valley Tradition & Nature Duration Full day. Description The Vigezzo Valley, also known as the Painters’ Valley, winds its way between rugged mountains and stretches towards Switzerland where it assumes the name of the Hundred Valleys. It is known as the Painters’ Valley because a painting school was founded in the area and which in 1879 became the Rossetti Valentini School of Fine Arts in Santa Maria Maggiore. This tradition for painting can easily be seen in the parish churches as well as on the facades of the houses which are elegantly decorated. The tradition of chimney-sweepers is just as important. They were a migratory population who, on leaving Santa Maria Maggiore, were welcomed all over Europe. The Chimney-Sweepers Museum in Santa Maria Maggiore is dedicated to all their hard work.
