the Torrione, located on the orographic left of the Astico, dating back to the Middle Ages and perhaps built on Roman foundations, had the function of an outpost and signal tower, because it was placed in visual correspondence with the castle of Velo d'Astico.

The Torrione di Pedescala, in medieval times but perhaps already in Roman times, was the military observation outpost on the upper Val d'Astico, which has always been a gateway for Germanic and barbarian populations to the plain. It had a direct visual connection with the castle of Velo, further down the valley, of which a tower and 10 metres of walls survive today; the latter was in turn visible from the castle of Cogollo, at the mouth of the valley, which has now completely disappeared: this system allowed for the sighting and reporting of any invasion dangers well in advance.
