History

The name of Valdragone appears for the first time in historical documents of 1253. The Monastero di Santa Chiara was built from 1969 to 1971.

According to legend, the name "Valdragone" comes from stories of a dragon that appeared there.^[3] From Italian val, apocopic form of valle ("valley") + dragone ("dragon").
