Hello kids! Today I will not take you too much time, since I really hope this weekend you’re going to have a nice Easter and I wish you’re planning many beautiful family outings choosing between the places we visited together through the years! Today we are in a very central area of Torre Pellice (Turin)… […]

Hello! Today, I’m taking you in the municipality of Luserna San Giovanni, at just a few steps from the border with Angrogna, in order to tell you the history of the Waldensian temple that stands here and gives name to the whole township, the Chabas (or Ciabàs)! It’s a peculiar name, isn’t it?! It dates […]

Winter is knocking at the door, but I’m not frightened by the cold, you can be sure! Today I’d like to bring you in Perrero, in Val Germanasca, to recount you the history of a temple. So, put a warm cap on your head and come with me! During the 18th Century, Perrero was the […]

Hello there! Today I am in Podio (in dialect “Puy”), a suburb of Bobbio Pellice, since I want to tell you about a great little piece of history.

  The story I’m telling you today could make you rich, so you have to listen it cautiously! It’s said that above the Bagnou hamlet, in Angrogna, Val Pellice, there’s an hidden treasure. From the unpaved road which goes to Alpe Crëvlira, near Bagnou, you’ll see a big rock with the shape of an “L” […]

Hi! This is a special post to tell you about a temporary exhibition, and the great thing is that the protagonist… will be me, Valdesina! Yes, I’ve been invited to participate to the yearly celebration of the Waldensian churches of the First District, which will take place on the 15th of August in Rorà, in […]

Hello! Today I want to take you to a special place, since this place – even though many facts of the past happened here – in fact is not an open site ’cause it is located on a private property; I received permission to go there and now I’ll tell you everything I know about […]

Hi there! Today I’d like to make you a very special Easter surprise… so I’m about to tell you how bonnets of the Waldensian costume are made! It’s the most peculiar element of the traditional costume, and there are very few people who still know the procedure to create one… I met Mrs. Piera from […]
