Cadenabbia di Griante: "In the Year of our Lord 1521, in the Castle of Griante, had its end the eventful life of John the Crazy, who was born in Brenzio in the Parish of Dongo.
.....
The adventure of John the Crazy is but a modest episode in the long and bloody war between France and Spain on Italian soil, which started at the end of the 15th century and ended with the Peace of Cambrai the 8th of August 1529. Nevertheless, it is of particular interest for those, like us, who want to point out how a quiet and peaceful village like Griante had to witness and take part to some events which upset the normal life of people, in a period of great turmoil."
read it, it's interesting...
