The Leonardo Trail in Val Veddasca
Sunday, August 13, 2023, in synergy with Taxus APS and the Micro Museum of Cadero and in order to enhance further places linked to Leonardo's memory, the Leonardo Trail will be enriched by a peculiar extension: a brand new alternative route will be inaugurated from Maccagno con Pino e Veddasca to Ponte Tresa passing through Cadero, Curiglia, Dumenza, and Astano; there will be an additional 45 km of trail to ideally be covered in three stages (August 13-14-15). On this new extension, the testimonies of Leonardo da Vinci are above all linked to his great pupil Bernardino Luini (born in Dumenza), but also to the thief of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre Museum Vincenzo Peruggia (also born in that same locality), remembered in particular in the Micro Museum of Cadero dedicated to the Mona Lisa and the most famous art theft in the world. Thanks to this addition, the Trail thus takes the shape of a brand new true Lombard-Ticino Leonardesque Tour with a total length of about 120 km, to be covered in six stages.
The start of this walk will be from Maccagno con Pino e Veddasca at 9:30 am from the station square.
Participation in the walk is free of charge. To register, write to info@camminodiagostino.it by Friday, July 15, indicating the names of the participants and a contact mobile number for any communications.

Cadero the village of mosaics
In 2015, the permanent mosaic exhibition was inaugurated, born from an idea by Claudio Gobbi and Gianpietro Pugni, created with the support of the Santa Giulia Academy of Fine Arts in Brescia and the municipality of Maccagno con Pino e Veddasca.
The exhibition features about 30 creative mosaics made on a free theme by the students of the academy, 6 by Gianpietro Pugni and one by Claudio Gobbi.
On July 15 and 16, a tribute to the artists who created the works and guided tours in the old village.
During the days, artists Claudio Gobbi, Gianpiero Pugni, and Roberto Corradini will be present for the Open Day - mosaic course.
On the 16th at 5:00 pm, the work created by Roberto Corradini entitled "La Gioconda a Cadero" will be presented.
This work, which Maestro Corradini donated to the community of Cadero, will be installed at the entrance of the village coming from the valley towards the lake.
