The mills in Piero
The mills in Piero offer visitors the chance to savour an atmosphere of years gone by, still today set in an unreal silence, amidst winding, rocky paths, mule tracks and stone steps.
The feeling is that of stepping back into the past at just a short distance from modern civilization. Piero is the name of a village clinging onto the slopes of Monte Lema, and its winding, rocky paths, mule tracks and stone steps give visitors a taste of the atmosphere typical of years gone by. Still today, the village is immersed in an apparently unreal silence.
Piero's mills are typically mountain constructions, built using stone and local timber. Here, traditions are preserved by its inhabitants and by a recent rebuilding project. Amongst farms raising goats and producing cheese from goats' milk, this cluster of rural buildings is of remarkable interest.
Taking the path that runs alongside the mills, you can reach other mountain villages set in the green forest environment. These equally peaceful locations include Biegno, Cangili and Monterecchio, and the forest track eventually reaches Alpe Forcora.
