through a rather narrow valley, which opens up fanwise
by the upper part, that Is surrounded by mountain
chains ranging from the Colletto delle Fontane one,
down to Mount LaparÀ, through the Pignerol
and the Peolioso ones. On the north side, the woods
take about 200 hectares, and feature mainly beeches
and silver firs, (very rare species In the western
Alps), and larches In the highest area.
Not to forget: the eighteenth-century church dedicated
to the Nativitá della Beata Vergine, (Blesses
Virgin Nativity), located by the area Campo Forano,
a large exhibition of murals recalling famous songs
on the village houses and the summer rock concerts,
which draw large audiences In the area. |
