The districts of San Bortolo and the wonders of the Tanara Valley
San Bortolo, a town historically known as “San Bartolomeo delle Montagne”, is one of the XIII Cimbrian municipalities of Lessinia. It is the starting point of this suggestive itinerary which crosses the impervious and scenic Val Tanara and some of the characteristic districts of this territory. Small signs of popular art, such as shrines, crosses and votive recess, will accompany us through the borderlands of upper Val d’Illasi and Val del Chiampo.
