The name of the place Oggebbio, which is composed of 15 different villages (approximately 1,000 inhabitants), is derived from the Greek "eu" (= good), "ghe" (earth), and "bios" (= life), meaning "earth of the good life." In this fertile area, rye, oats, and potatoes were cultivated from the foot of the lake to the chestnut forests in the higher elevations, and livestock farming was practiced in earlier times. The wood from the forests was used, among other things, as fuel for the steam locomotives of the railway in Verbania, and the twigs were even transported to Milan so that the local bakers could heat their ovens. In the municipality of Oggebbio, there are many architectural gems to discover, such as the Parocchiale dei Santi Pietro e Paolo parish church in the village of Gonte with the highest bell tower (42 m) in the Verbano area, the Romanesque church of Sant’ Agata from the 12th century, or the chapel "della Natività di Maria di Cadessino" with its wonderful cycle of frescoes from the 15th century in Novaglio.
The unique microclimate in this part of Lake Maggiore also favors the growth of many Mediterranean and exotic plants. In the second half of the 19th century, the "Camellia," named after the Jesuit father Georg Joseph Kamel and belonging to the family of Asian tea bushes (Theaceae), made its entrance here. The rare forms of the winter camellia are the queens of the colder season and nowhere else in Europe can they find better climatic conditions to thrive. But not only for nature and plant lovers does the area around Oggebbio have a lot to offer, the varied excursion possibilities on the lake as well as in the mountains and valleys give this area a very special charm. The proximity of well-known places like Locarno and Ascona with their annual international film and jazz festivals expands the possibilities for relaxation, sports, and culture.
