Valvestino (Brescian: Val Vestì) is a comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy in northern Italy.
The valley was―officially―absorbed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the mid-19th century but for many years operated, in effect, as an autonomous region without external oversight, owing to its relative geographic isolation in the mountains.
Valvestino was separated administratively from Trentino in 1934, becoming a comune of five frazioni (municipal subdivisions): Armo, Bollone, Moerna, Persone and Turano [it].
The abundance of pastures has always been significant for the village economy, dedicated to cattle raising that survives to the present, in summer mountain barns, with production of milk, from which famous cheeses and butter are obtained.
Historically, the cores of the hamlets of Armo, Bollone, Moerna, Persone and Turano are crossings of small passages between peasants' high and narrow houses.
