Scenically very attractive, the village stands perched on the hillside and is surrounded by lush green woods and meadows. The parish church preserves a fine seventeenth-century carved wooden composition in honor of the Virgin, as well as a sacristy with eighteenth-century furnishings.

In the hamlet of Torre degli Alberi, visitors can admire the castle of the Dal Verme counts, who still reside there and who, in 1452, bred their horses on the estate. At the entrance stands a Roman-era funerary stele commemorating the spouses Ottone Macedone and Pollia. The castle features a stone-and-brick tower topped with an elegant stringcourse.

In the hamlet of Montelungo, a sanctuary was built during the Carolingian period on the site where the Virgin is said to have miraculously healed a deaf-mute girl. In 1929, reconstruction of the church was ordered on a nearby hill, as the medieval building had become unsafe. The sixteenth-century painting depicting the Madonna nursing the Child was preserved and is now displayed on the high altar of the new three-aisled church, completed in 1942. On the site of the ancient miracle and the former medieval church, a simple and graceful chapel was erected in 1963.

Since 2019, Ruino, Canevino, and Valverde have merged into a single municipality called Colli Verdi.
