A tiny little village, a Ricetto to be exact, the best preserved of the still existing in Piedmont, near Biella.
Ricetto The ancient village is created and maintained by many farmers who used it centuries ago to protect the produce of land and peasant communities.
The village is in the city center and is accessed on foot, outside the village, opposite the town hall there are free parking, you enter the tower Ricetto / gateway brick. The Ricetto looks like an old "village" unusual because it included the new town developed outside, widely visible and well marked by tourist signs, as soon as it is astonishing for its singularity.
At the entrance there is a small square, a few houses, some of which are currently used and private, and everything has been faithfully preserved, as then, some stretches of Ricetto have been renovated but maintaining the primary structure and everything is as it was at the time of village. Allincirca It dates back to 900.
Closed in the protective walls of the towers has Ricetto sighting of a walkway and battlements of which remains a small part where you can walk.
It seems to be catapulted into the past in an ambiguous, strange and mystical!
In the village there is a particular microclimate tempered, perhaps as a consequence of being very small and has collected just over 5 / 6 pedestrian streets lined by houses for the lower, the atmosphere is almost magic in the Ricetto, the place is truly unique and worth visiting.
There are two restaurants within the Ricetto, adapted to the old restored homes.
The product is typical of a salami Ricetto with which you decorate the dish typical of the village, inside the walls often hold festivals, historical re-enactments, performances, awards, and performances.
In the evening the atmosphere of the village is almost tangible, the lighting is dim light to illuminate dimly the narrow dirt roads, towers placed low in the corners of Ricetto stand out against the dark sky that is dark. The voices are stifled, the restaurants light up the rooms, the ivy climbing protects sight some little old building.
And here give up and spend the night of halloween? A place to say the least perfect!
To visit (free entry) just half an hour but it is so pleasantly strange feeling when you walk in the streets who spends much time to observe the case, the embattled towers, the features of the houses, the square of entry.
There is a small shop inside and a few individuals living in small brick houses with red wooden doors and balconies full of flowers.
Good to spend a summer evening, take a stroll after dinner, very typical and beautiful at sunset.
