Tips

Along this path you will find centuries-old and spectacular chestnut trees ('maronàri' in the Venetian dialect), planted between the 16th and 18th centuries, with twisted trunks and a regal appearance: the three oldest specimens are Gerolamo, 350 years old, Mattio, 450 years old, and Iseppo, 400 years old!

The cultivation of chestnut trees has very ancient traditions in this area, where the volcanic soil offered the ideal habitat for the growth of these trees: along the path you can in fact see the sasso moro, or the black basaltic stone typical of areas of lava origin. The wood was used for many purposes, while the chestnuts were used to make flour, an important source of sustenance for the locals.
