On 23 June 2002, \u201cThe Small Museum of the Guardia di Finanza and Smuggling\u201d was inaugurated in Erbonne, a hamlet of San Fedele Intelvi, province of Como.<\/p>

The National Association of Italian Financiers Section "Alceo Salvini" wanted to give back to the Intelvi Valley a living testimony of an important moment of its history, renovating the "barracks" of the Guardia di Finanza closed in November 1977. The Financiers carried out the 24 hour anti-smuggling service since 1947. The structure remained in a state of abandonment until 2001. It is state property and was transformed by ANFI into a small museum which collects, thanks also to the collaboration of the smugglers of the time , of the Swiss Border Guard, of the private individuals and financiers who served here, the memorabilia and objects that marked such an important and significant era for this area.<\/p>

The Museum was called \u201cBurlanda e Sfrusaduu\u201d in homage to the Intelvi Valley, as financiers and smugglers were called this in the local dialect.<\/p>

The renovation works were carried out by financiers on leave: Pietro Vitelli, Guido D'Orazio, Ulderico Battista, Angelo Serra and Gabriele Lombardo.<\/p>

Since the Museum is small in size (4x4 m), it is possible to visit it from the outside thanks to a glass window located in front of the entrance door and other side windows.<\/p>

Particular thanks go to the inhabitants of Erbonne for their kind and effective collaboration.<\/p>

The museum is located at the beginning of the path which, in 20 minutes, leads from Erbonne to Scudelatte in the Muggio Valley, in Swiss territory.<\/p>

The small and charming village, located at 963 m above sea level, is nestled between Monte Generoso and Pizzo della Croce and develops on a natural rock terrace in the initial stretch of the Muggio Valley which at that point softens the steep slope of the slopes of the Valley. Some remains suggest Mesolithic bivouacs; during the Copper and Iron Ages the place became a point of stable agro-silvo-pastoral settlement.<\/p>

Currently the village is inhabited by only twelve people and is the starting point for numerous excursions in the surrounding mountains and especially towards the summit of Monte Generoso.<\/p>

From San Fedele Intelvi, crossing the town of Casasco and the Pian delle Alpi, you reach Erbonne.<\/p>

On foot: 30 minutes from Pian delle Alpi<\/p>
