La bachina rossa, Molochio

(la piu alta d'Italia)

The largest bank in Italy is in Molochio. Following the phenomenon of the "Big Bench" conceived in 2009 by the American designer Chris Bangle, the newly born cultural tourism association "Quadrifoglio" has thus in the belvedere of the village of Trepitò - a mountain hamlet of the Pre-Aspromonte center (standing on the homonymous mountain) - a huge bench with record figures (3.4 meters high; 4.4 meters long; 1.6 meters deep and sitting 2 meters above the ground) - made entirely by some volunteers: the iron structure was worked by the blacksmith Carmelo Malivindi, the chestnut wood planks, that compose it were supplied by Giuseppe Noto, while all the material for the assembly, including the paint, was provided by Pietro Accardo.
