Included since 2018 in the club "The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy".
Bondone is a small town nestled on the alpine slopes overlooking Lake Idro. Visiting it means entering a place suspended in time, when the narrow and cramped streets, under arches and along steep staircases, were the coal miners. It is reminiscent of the monument of the coalsmith, a bronze work placed at the entrance of the village depicting the typical pile of wood (the poiàt), a man intent on setting it up and a girl leaning on a goat. In a decentralised position with respect to the town is the nineteenth-century church of the Nativity of Mary, lying on a terrace overlooking the valley below and Lake Idro.
STRENGTH:
In August, the village hosts an important international exhibition of street artists entitled Bondone in strada.
