history

During the Spanish rule in the 16th and 17th centuries, Castello had limited opportunities for local self-government. Most of the public tasks were taken over by the Consiglio generale of Valsolda .

During the Napoleonic era , Castello with its 144 inhabitants was combined with the municipality of Albogasio by decree of June 8, 1805 . In 1816, after the establishment of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Veneto , Valsolda regained its independence. In 1853 the village had 213 inhabitants, in 1861 204.

In 1862 the village took the name Castello Valsolda . In 1927 Castello was merged with the municipalities of Albogasio, Cressogno , Dasio, Drano and Puria to form the new municipality of Valsolda .
