Romeno

The municipality of Romeno has about 1,400 inhabitants. The locality probably owes its name to the word "Romani" (Romans), who are said to have built this village when they settled here.

Despite having been hit by several fires, the typical, elegant houses have preserved the elements of their architecture to this day. Decorated with double-arched windows and Renaissance elements, "Casa Rosati" is one of such houses. The Assumption of Mary parish church, dedicated to the Saints Tommaso and Bartolomeo, and the Maso di S. Bartolomeo south of the village are also worth mentioning.

Romeno is the starting point of the well-known "Ciaspolada" of the Val di Non, a world-famous snowshoe-race. Every year, this popular event counts more than 5,000 participants who compete against each other along a course between Romeno and Fondo.

Malgolo (806 m a.s.l.) with its approximately 240 inhabitants, one of the two hamlets of Romeno, lies along the road to Sanzeno. Near the village you can admire the stunning Castel Malgolo embedded among forests and fruit orchards. Salter, the other hamlet of Romeno, has slightly less than 300 inhabitants.
