Dalsland is a Swedish province or landskap, situated in Gotaland in southern Sweden, Lying to the west of Lake Vanern it is bordered by Varmland to the north, Vastergotland to the southeast, Bohuslan to the west, and Norway to the northwest. It is from here that our Swedish family came.
In the region of Lombardia, in the rich soil of Valtellina e Valchiavenna at the foot of the Italian Alps, the Italian branch of our family took root. In the high valleys of the province of Sondrio sit two small towns only a few kilometers apart —Piantedo, and Gordona, the birthplaces of Nonno and Nonni. This section contains all things “Italian.”
Welcome to the House of Scalcini. This site is an opportunity to share all things “family”: Our history, our stories, photos -old and new, memorabilia, and events. It is a work in progress that will never be completed as long as we have our families and their stories to tell. Check back often to the ongoing story of the “House of Scalcini.”
