Toirano

Overview

It rises in the valley from which it takes its name, Toirano, a small village with a mountain soul that hides, protected by the surrounding peaks, a secret made of flavours and mysterious caves. If the village recounts its medieval past with walls, towers and old houses, the fertile land that guards it is rich in oil mills where an excellent olive oil is produced, the protagonist of one of the most heartfelt festivals in the entire area: the festa dei gumbi, as the oil mills are called in the local dialect. But the unique charm of Toirano is linked to its underground caves: along a route of more than a kilometre it is possible to discover the fascinating stalactites and stalagmites that populate the caves, statues that nature has created over the millennia, and the very ancient traces of Homo Sapiens Sapiens dating back as far as 12,000 years. A place of archaic and powerful beauty, the caves are a treasure trove of history and nature, to be admired in the enchanted silence that pervades them.
