O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Broad stone porticoes hum with the clatter of cafés and local chatter, while elegant arcades and a baroque façade glow in late-afternoon light. Evenings often bring live folk music and open-air markets, where the scent of baking focaccia mingles with a cool mountain breeze.
Poudarki: At golden hour the square's uneven cobbles glow like toasted chestnuts and vendors string up about 20 meters of paper lanterns, while neighbors share plates of tajarin and robiola cheese and the air fills with espresso and wood smoke. Each summer a quirky tradition draws roughly 300 locals who roll a hand-painted wooden barrel down the central slope, cheering as it clatters past the old 17th-century well, with the winner earning bragging rights and a warm plate of focaccia.
