Historical information
The first residents moved to this little town in the beginning of 1100. The life and the development of the town were connected to the mining activities in the Imperina valley, an activity that lasted for over five centuries. With the decreased production of minerals, this town knew well the plague of emigration because the number of workers needed here were in fact, fewer. The workers of this town took around the world their ability as miners and as wood workers. They were especially adept in making wicker chairs (called "careghete"). The parish dedicated to S. Floriano was built on a project designed by the architect G. Segusini, and it houses the wooden statue of S. Antonio made by the sculptor Valentino Pancera Besarel and the Pala of S. Barbara designed by Achille Beltrame.
