A stretch of road connecting the Rossana pass to the town of Busca, an alternative route to the provincial road and the road along the Maira. It offers stunning views of the plain and the Alps in the distance—as well as a lovely glimpse of a nearly hidden valley behind Busca, the existence of which I was unaware.

From the bridge over the Varaita torrent, just outside the heart of Costigliole Saluzzo, a suggestive panorama opens up that embraces the village perched on the hill and the waters of the torrent that flow at its feet. From this privileged position, you can admire the houses with their red tile roofs, the streets that climb towards the historic center and, on clear days, the majestic backdrop of the Alps. The sound of the flowing water and the view of the surrounding nature make this place perfect for a panoramic stop, immersing yourself in the tranquility of the Piedmont countryside.

Piasco, located on the left of the Varaita stream, has ancient origins. It was a Roman customs station and then passed from the Lords of Venasca to the Marquises of Saluzzo up to the Savoy. Among the medieval testimonies still visible today, the civic tower, once a bell tower, and the Church of San Giovanni stand out. The Porporati castle, dating back to 1655, dominates the historic center.

Even today you can see the excavations of the lime quarry. You can find an information panel that reports an episode narrated in 1883 by Aurelio Stella, professor of mineralogy at the Polytechnic of Turin, to the students during a visit to the Varaita Valley. In addition, you will find some interesting information and testimonies of a family about their life in the valley, between departures and returns through the woods.

From here there are various paths towards Busca or Rossana, Morra del Villar

Old quarry along the dirt road for costigliole

Located at the entrance to the Varaita Valley, Costigliole Saluzzo is a charming medieval village that combines history, culture and food and wine traditions. The town is dominated by three castles: the Castello Rosso, the Castello Reynaudi and the "Castellotto", which testify to the historical importance of the town. Among the notable buildings are the Palazzo Giriodi di Monastero, currently the town hall, and the Palazzo Sarriod de La Tour, which houses the municipal library and exhibition spaces. The parish church of Santa Maria Maddalena preserves in its crypt the "Cristo di Pietà", attributed to the Flemish painter Hans Clemer. Walking through the narrow streets of the historic center, you can admire picturesque views and ancient architecture that tell centuries of history. The surrounding area is renowned for the production of fruit, in particular the round Costigliole apricot and the Quagliano grape, from which a fine red wine is obtained.

Reynaudi Castle, located in Costigliole Saluzzo (Cuneo), is one of the three castles that dominate the hills of the town. Built at the beginning of the 17th century by Giovanni Michele Crotti and completed by his son Carlo, the first Count of Costigliole, the castle stands on the ruins of the ancient Rocca dei Costanzia, destroyed in 1487. The structure has a polygonal plan, defended by three corner towers, and is surrounded by a large park. In 1693, during the retreat towards Turin, the French army devastated Costigliole Saluzzo, leaving only six buildings intact, including the castle. At the beginning of the 20th century, the building was purchased by Admiral Leone Reynaudi, from whom it takes its current name.
