Sant’anna (Tossa, Zum Trog, Erörtru), Sant’Antonio (zum funny), San Gottardo (ä around), Saddle (Ŝchattal), Lower villa (Niderdörf) and Villa Superiore (Oberdörf) .

The neighboring communities are Bannio Anzino, Calasca-Castiglione, Cravagliana, Fobello and Valstrona.

The then Alps Rimella and Rotunda were leased in 1255 by three men from the Swiss Valais, namely Johannes from Visperterminen, Ancelmus son of Johannis de Monte and Guillelmus from Saas-Balen from the chapter San Giulio d’Orta. Just a good year later, nine other family superiors who also come from Valais are still a year later. ^[2] In the 1970s, Rimella was therefore a exclusively Walser-German-speaking community, whereby administrative, school and church language has been Italian for a long time. ^[3]

Due to its weak economic structure, the mountain farm community Rimella is now acutely threatened by the depopulation (1631: 964 inhabitants; 1831: 1381 inhabitants; 1900: 1232 inhabitants; 1943: 905 inhabitants; 1971: 320 inhabitants; ^[3] 2004: 142 inhabitants).

In the documentation Peak – over all peaks From 2011, some residents of Rimella and their life situation are described. ^[4] There are also film projects from students from the University of Potsdam, in which the residents of Rimella and their lives are presented. ^[5]
