Until the eighties, the craftsman blacksmith Francesco Cortiana produced tools thanks to the power of the water from the stream. The last mill of the Valle dei Ronchi, where until thirty years ago cutting tools were made for agricultural and wooded activities, thanks to a “mola” driven by the water of the stream. The stories of Mario Cortiana, the nephew of the blacksmith Francesco, will take you back in time, illustrating the secrets of iron working. In the summer months, several guided tours are organized.Until the eighties, the craftsman blacksmith Francesco Cortiana produced tools thanks to the power of the water from the stream.
