Cascina Selvetto: a magical place in the Monte Barro park
On the southern slope of Monte Barro , nestled in a protected natural oasis, Cascina Selvetto .
A place that we can define as magical, located a few steps from the center of the town of Sala al Barro, guarded by an isolated mountain of the pre-Alps 922 meters high.
Here, between the lake and the mountains, the views merge with history: ancient paths and forgotten villages hide what over the years have become archaeological parks belonging to the Gothic age.
An area that over time has been frequented by shepherds , farmers and wealthy landowners who have revolutionized the landscape by introducing cultivations of olive trees and vineyards and which have become an agricultural tradition for this place rich in terraces and vegetation.
