Fantasy, creativity and nature are the elements characterizing this small town.
Along the trails of Colle dell’Orso mountain, on foot, walking or on a MTB one discovers an uncontaminated nature that charms by its perfumes and wonderful colours.
On the meadows hills, in the summer months, it is possible to see free herds of cows and horses grazing around and to protect such beauties there are some giant blocks of rock, proud guards of the territory and time, this is a destination for numerous lovers of climbing.
The inhabited center, with the beautiful Santa Maria Assunta Church back to the XIII century, is an ensemble of alleys, little squares and stone houses.
Walking down these small streets there’s a chance to see in some workshop, professional craftsmen all committed in the ancient manufacture of iron and steel.
