Croveo is a frazione of the comune (municipality) of Baceno in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, in the Italian region of Piedmont. Croveo is located from Baceno, from Verbania, and from Turin, the capital city of Piedmont.
Croveo is known for its natural landscape, such as its falesia (a cliff used for rock climbing) and many walking trails. Croveo is historically associated with witches and the witch trials that took place there during the 16th century. This earned the hamlet the unofficial names of Paese delle Streghe (Town of the Witches in Italian) and Striogn at Cròf (Wizards of Croveo in Walser dialect).
