Valdengo

Province: Biella · Region: Piedmont · Population: 2,532 · Postal code: 13855

The vald in the name is Germanic and points to forest: the village was already there in Roman times, and the prefix suggests it was later refounded by people of German stock.

The church of Sant'Andrea turns up in a bull of 1184 as a Benedictine cell and was rebuilt in the seventeenth century; from the middle ages the castle with its ricetto and the chapel of Santa Caterina survive. The coat of arms is not its own: it repeats the bars of the Avogadro of Vigliano and Montecavallo. Until 1992 Valdengo belonged to the province of Vercelli.
