Subjects : It is an ancient abandoned village nestled in the woods, built entirely with stones worked by local stonemasons. You can photograph both the interiors (some even frescoed) and the external structures of houses and chestnut dryers. The moss that covers part of the buildings and the forest that surrounds them give a truly unforgettable fairytale atmosphere!

Recommended equipment : I think the wide-angle lens is a must; A standard lens can also work well, but I didn't use it.

Best months : Autumn is certainly the most suitable season, as the village is immersed in a beech forest that certainly gives incredible colors during the foliage. In spring, the flowering of many plants can help to create interesting compositions, but to reach the village you have to cross a stream that in spring (if it has snowed during the winter) can swell and be uncrossable. During the winter, the presence of snow can make it very difficult to locate the path leading to the village. In summer it is easily accessible.

How to get there : It can be reached either from the village of Pianelletto (PR), following the CAI path that leads to Lavacchielli, or from the road below the "easy ridge" near Monte Barigazzo: leaving the easy ridge on the left, along the paved road you will come to a junction that leads to the right towards the abandoned village. From there the walk starts and takes about 40 minutes.

Visits : There is no entrance fee, so entry is free.

Notes : I think it is important to add that this is a unique heritage, it must be respected and therefore we must not alter or destroy the buildings and their surroundings.
