history

The county of Bormio, at the head of which the Bündner placed a Podestà with a two-year term of office, was organized differently in judicial, legislative and administrative terms than the lower part of the Valtellina: Bormio enjoyed more freedom and suffered less under the administration of the Bündner. Its sulfur thermal baths (already mentioned by Pliny the Younger and Cassiodorus ) and the spring bathing trips to Bormio were very popular in Switzerland in the 16th and 17th centuries. During the Graubünden turmoil it suffered heavily from the military operations, as the Graubünden attempts to conquer Bormio mostly began with an attack on Bormio (procession of the Bernese and Zürcher in 1620, Wormserzug in 1621, conquest of Valtellina by Henri II. De Rohan in 1635).
