High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1355 between the Count of Savoy and the Count of Genevoy. Based on the terms of the treaty, the annexation of the Barony of Gex by the county of Savoy was recognized. Moreover, the territory of Valtelline was forced to limit its border with the county of Burgundy. The accord, overall, confirmed the control of western Chablais by the Count of Savoy.Valtellina or the Valtelline valley (occasionally spelled as two words in English: Val Telline); (Lombard: Valtulina, Italian: Valtellina, German: Veltlin, Romansh: Vuclina) is a valley in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, bordering Switzerland. Today it is known for its skiing, its hot spring spas, its cheeses (in particular Bitto, named after the torrent Bitto) and its wines. In past centuries it was a key alpine pass between northern Italy and Germany and control of the Valtelline was much sought after, particularly during the Thirty Years' War.
