Valsesia
Valsesia, the Alpine valley of my childhood: pink-tinged Monte Rosa above Campertogno and the glaciers that shaped my first sense of wonder.
The valley of my childhood.
⪦ A view of Monte Rosa from the high lands of Campertogno (VC). Although the peaks glow pink (“rosa” in Italian) at sunset, the name ‘Monte Rosa’ comes from the local patois word ‘rouése’ for ‘glacier’.
