Parishes and the year of change of province

Until after the First World War , Valvestino belonged to Tyrol and later under the name Turano to Trentino , was separated from Trentino in 1934 together with the neighboring municipality of Magasa and incorporated into the province of Brescia . Valvestino is grappling with worrying demographic trends.

In a referendum in 2008, a majority declared that they wanted to return to the now autonomous province of Trento. A corresponding draft law has been in Rome since 2013. In April 2015, the Lombard Regional Council approved the proposal submitted by the Lega Nord to support the change of province.

Since Valvestino is not directly connected to the Trentino by road, there are considerations to build a controversial tunnel to Bondone . While you have to go around Lake Idro for the journey today , the tunnel would shorten the one-hour drive to a few minutes.
