Malegno is a small village in the Camonica Valley which is located at the entrance to the Lozio valley. Bathed by the waters of the Lanico stream, it hosts one of the oldest institutions in the area: a hospice for travellers, today called Ospedale degli Esposti della Valle. In Malegno it is possible to admire a "Wall in art", a wall painted as part of the Vallecamonica cultural district project, designed to bring art to the small towns of the area, making it accessible to everyone.
