Town of the Valtellina area, in the province of Sondrio, Villa di Tirano is located at the foot of the Rhaetian Alps, in a nice sunny position, surrounded by vineyards (where the most popular wines Valtellina DOC are produced) and apple orchards. Already mentioned in a document dated 1164 as Pieve di Villa, it formerly belonged to the Traspes Family, and then to the Beccaria. Villa di Tirano was an important trading station, being located along the passage of the Via Valeriana (which connected Como through the entire Valtellina to the Bernina Pass) and along the road which connects the town with the Aprica Pass.
