Livigno, under the name of VINEA et Vineole (hence perhaps the name of Livigno with the prefix LI), developed over time along the valley, on one street parallel to the river Spöl (then called Akua Granda).

The three main churches in Livigno also represented the centres of their respective neighbourhoods, besides giving their names to the town districts. The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Chiesa della Natività di Santa Maria Vergine), St. Roch’s Church (Chiesa di S. Rocco) and St. Ann’s Church (Chiesa di S. Anna), representative of Trepalle.
In 1861 Livigno it became part of the Kingdom of Italy and obtained confirmation of its ancient customs privileges.

Livigno started its first modest approaches to summer tourism between the two World Wars.

In 1952, the Foscagno Road (Strada del Foscagno) became passable even in winter. That was the real beginning of the local tourist boom. Some houses were turned into hotels and the first ski lifts were finally built. Another important date is the opening, occurred in 1965, of the Munt La Schera Tunnel.

What still today characterizes the landscape of Livigno are the Spöl River, the centuries-old natural forests and the artificial lake.
