Carlo Baravalle was an Italian lawyer, photographer, and civic figure based in Volpedo. Trained in law and active as a criminal defense attorney, he combined his professional career with wide-ranging interests, including photography and horticulture in the Curone and Grue valleys. A key figure in Italian pictorialist photography, he co-founded the Gruppo Piemontese per la Fotografia Artistica in 1921 with Stefano Bricarelli and Achille Bologna, and in 1924 helped relocate the journal Il corriere fotografico from Milan to Turin. He also served as mayor of Volpedo from 1914-1920, reflecting his strong engagement in local civic life.
