번넬은 노마글리오 중심부를 가로지르는 도로인 비아 마에스트라(Via Maestra) 중간쯤에 있는 고대 컵 모양의 돌입니다. 표면에는 선사 시대에 새겨진 컵 모양의 홈이 여전히 보입니다. 이 작은 반구형 홈의 정확한 기능은 학자들 사이에서 여전히 논쟁거리입니다. 아마도 풍요를 기원하는 의식이나 숭배와 관련이 있을 수 있습니다. 더 최근 시대에는 이 돌이 분수로 개조되어 물을 담는 받침대가 만들어졌으며, 돌에는 마을 사람들이 칼과 단검을 갈던 흔적도 볼 수 있습니다. "번넬"이라는 이름은 바로 이것을 의미합니다. 즉, 돌 받침대가 있는 분수입니다. 이 돌은 몇 제곱센티미터 안에 선사 시대의 흔적 위에 겹쳐진 수세기의 일상적인 사용 흔적을 담고 있으며, 주변의 전형적인 카나베세 아치가 있는 석조 주택보다 훨씬 오래된 시대부터 마을의 삶과 함께해 왔습니다.

Nomaglio is a small but pleasant, characteristic village that deserves a quick stop and a bike ride.

artificial lake once infested with abandoned turtles and now finally reclaimed

Small lake under Mount Camino. Very rich in frogs and tadpoles. Some information: The Camino lake is located south of Mount Camino, between Colle della Barma and La Ceva. The environment in which it is located is of glacial origin, characterized by small overexcavation basins between the humps of the smooth rocks. The glacial imprint can be traced back to the various Pleistocene glacial impulses and in particular to the last impulse and subsequent regression. The landscape modeled by glacial activity was then taken up and modified in detail by the erosion of the runoff waters, by the cryoclastic action that splits and crumbles the rocks and by the nivation processes. The lake is in an advanced evolutionary phase with shallow waters and boulders on the bottom, it is partly bordered by vegetation, it is enriched with sediments and is destined to become a peat bog and then to be completely buried.

The climb is very tough but once you get to the top the sanctuary is beautiful.
