Hello there! Today I’m back in Bobbio Pellice to tell you a legend set in the small village of Malpertus, on the way to the Conca del Pra and just beyond the Cestel, probably named this way because of the handful of houses (“pertus” means hole) that in winter time take very little sun, since […]

Hello! Today I had a trip out of my Valleys and I came to Turin, capital city of Piedmont… and necessarily linked to the events of Waldensian people! Right here, in fact, Savoy family used to live… and for a long time they opposed Waldenses and tried to eliminate them from their territories, since they […]

Hi guys! Today I want to tell you something about one of the most characteristic and famous mountains of Waldensian Valleys, that overlooks the lower Pellice Valley: I’m talking about the Mount Vandalino. It is visible from the whole plain of the Pellice river, and it is said that on its slopes many mysterious events […]
