Passo del Monte Cuvignone Via Vararo, Cittiglio / Castelveccana VA The Cuvignone Pass (1,036 m above sea level) is a pass near Vararo, in the Varese area between Valcuvia and Luinese. In cycling, it is known for its demanding climb, which can be tackled from various sides (directly from Cittiglio or Castelveccana, or indirectly after climbing Sant'Antonio or crossing the San Michele Pass). It has been used for training since the time of Alfredo Binda (originally from the area) and offers particularly technical and demanding descents. Ivan Basso also trained there. The pass is also famous in the automotive world, as it has been the most selective timed section of the "ACI Varese Rally" since the 80s, today the "Rally dei Laghi". Even in motorsport, as in cycling, it has been tackled in all directions, and in all directions it has always stood out for its difficulty, consisting of fast sections, others slower but very technical, narrow hairpin bends uphill and downhill – all over a length of about 12/14 km at the discretion of the organizer.

Church of San Rocco - Porto Valtravaglia The building was built in 1523 in the center of Porto Valtravaglia, perhaps as a sign of gratitude for the plague survived. It was in fact a simple open chapel, i.e. without a facade, equipped with only one altar on which a Madonna of Loreto was painted, surrounded by saints popularly invoked against plague. 1630 - 1633 complete reconstruction.
