At the turn of the dark

In Vanoni Square you can admire the beautiful octagonal fountain, the bui de Piazza. From there turn right and take Via Stelvio to the junction with Via Vignaccia. Here you descend and, shortly, on the right, you can see the bui de Vignascia. Return to Via Stelvio, cross the bridge over the Valle stream and continue to the junction. Here you go up Via Cambremo and pass the bui de Cambrèm. Continue along Via Cantalupo where a small fountain has recently been rebuilt where the bui de Cantaluf used to be. Then turn left onto a lane that leads to a small wooden bridge over the Valle stream and continue to Via Guarnelle following which you arrive in front of the bui de Piazzèta. From here one ascends along a cobblestone lane and arrives in the vicinity of the Altavilla Hotel. Deviating to the left, one finds the bui de Sèlvèta, while continuing along Via Selva almost immediately one finds oneself in front of the bui de Selva. From here you continue and, just over the bridge, there is the bui de Paiada. You go up Via Prada and then deviate onto Via Prada vecchia to find the bui de Prada basa and further up the bui de Prada òlta at the top of the village. One takes the reverse route to the bui de Piazzèta, then descends along Via Ai Monti and reaches the Piazza. Continue along Via Teglio and just after the church of S.Siro, after the intersection with Via Tellina, there is the Bui dei Russ on the right. From here you can veer left along Via Tellina and arrive after 100 meters at the bui dei Lumbardi, then return to the junction and continue along Via Teglio. After a small descent you will see the bui dei Sèt. From here you reverse the route, returning to the Piazza. .

Also in the hamlets of Bratta and Piazzeda and higher up in the various contradelles there are many fountains. Absolutely worth seeing is the ancient fountain with wash-house, the work of some skilled and patient picapreda (stonemason), just behind the church in Piazzeda.
