the point on the Rio Venenza is a place of passage and contact between different and different people who intertwine the path on the neighborhood between Val Tessera and Valsesia crossing the block of Agnona, "already the scene of robberies and dirty deeds writes by a Luigi Gabelli "over the centuries I saw the field of several skirmishes".
