Val Sanagra Museum and Park

The Val Sanagra takes its name from the stream that runs down from the Tabor, the Marnotto and the Bregagno to Menaggio; since 2005 it has been a local park, created by the municipalities of Grandola ed Uniti and Menaggio. The ethnographic and natural-history museum is in Villa Camozzi, an eighteenth-century house that is also Grandola's town hall. It has rooms on the fauna, the fossils, the mushrooms, music and farming life, and one devoted to the little Menaggio–Porlezza railway, in service from 1884 to 1939. A few minutes away, the Fornace Galli fired bricks for the valley from the seventeenth century until shortly after the Second World War. In a clearing at Velzo, at 450 metres, stands the Rogolone: a sessile oak eight metres round and twenty-five high, which began growing around 1730 and has been a national monument since 1928.
