Castione Andevenno, a small village located in a basin to the west of Sondrio, lies on the side of the Rhaetian Alps and is one of the few towns in Valtellina where the sun shines all year round. Castione is composed of several hamlets that are: Andevenno, Balzarro, Artigianale-Commercial, Barboni, Ca' Bianca, Gatti, Grigioni, Guasto, Mangialdo, Moroni, Piatta, Pozzo, Rosette, Vanoni, Vendolo. The dual name of the municipality of Castione Andevenno is fairly recent. It was adopted perhaps between 1860 and 1865, thus neglecting the historical one of Castiglione di Sotto, which was used to avoid confusion with Castiglione di Sopra, today Castionetto, a hamlet of Chiuro. It served above all to distinguish Castione in Valtellina from other municipalities of the same name and at the same time honoured the hamlet of Andevenno, which is certainly the oldest locality in the entire municipal territory. It is said to have North-Etruscan origins and would derive its name from the Roman gentile Andivius, if not from the Illyrian name Andenna. After the unification of Italy in 1861, it had 14 hamlets. In 1866, the first inhabitant of Castione fell for the Italian homeland in the Third War of Independence: Giovanni Battista Gatti. Some inhabitants then participated in the 1870 campaign that led to the capture of Rome, later proclaimed capital of Italy. In 1834, the entire province was severely damaged by floods and Castione was also affected, while in 1856 it suffered painful losses due to cholera and later wine production was cancelled due to the spread of downy mildew. After the Second World War, many workers who had once been dedicated to agricultural work were employed in craft and industrial activities, both locally and in nearby Sondrio and neighbouring localities, but there was also emigration to other places in Italy and abroad, particularly to nearby Switzerland.
