Valvestino (Brescian: ) is a in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy in northern Italy.
==Historical and cultural profile== The Stoni (or Stoeni) people and the Gallic Cenomani, then the Romans and the Lombards settled the area. The Lodrone family were the lords of Valvestino from 1200 to 1807. The valley was―officially―absorbed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the mid-19th century but for many years operated, in effect, as an autonomous region without external oversight, owing to its relative geographic isolation in the mountains. It came to Italy in 1919. Valvestino was separated administratively from Trentino in 1934, becoming a of five (municipal subdivisions): Armo, Bollone, Moerna, Persone and . The ancient administrative autonomy restored to Valvestino in 1947.
