    Ca 'Donadoni at the crossroads between the CAI 519 and CAI 525 paths.

    Hiking

    The story starts back in 1850, in the area known as «il Forcellino», in the Municipality of Gazzaniga.
    In this place, famous for its game, there was an old abandoned house already owned by the Piccinelli family.
    In those years, the brothers Antonio and Filippo Donadoni, passionate about hunting, bought the nearby Roccolo and a large portion of the surrounding land.
    In the following years they built a large house, renamed by the locals as "Ol Palass" and, still today, in good condition.

    Hiking

    In the year 1857, a local hunter, who was near the Roccolo, heard a strange bell at a short distance from him.
    Looking around he saw nothing but, after a few minutes, the strange noise returned to repeat itself.
    The fact continued to repeat itself and the hunter, frightened, began to tell the locals about the strange ringing.
    Friends, skeptical at first, soon had to change their minds. At the Roccolo, but especially near the old Piccinelli house, passers-by began to hear strange noises of bells, invisible and therefore considered magical phenomena.
