39 - Piccoli tour

<p>Piccoli is a characteristic and pretty alpine village in the Lavarone area, situated on the steep slope that descends into the deep Astico valley. Its origins are linked to the ancient road called &#039;dell&#039;Ancino di là&#039;, a cartroad (also known as &#039;Imperiala&#039;) that connected southern Tyrol with the Republic of Venice. Nearby, in the deep cavern of Còvelo di Rio Malo, the bishop&#039;s duty was levied.</p>

<p>The walk is short but has many points of interest. Worth seeing, in the initial stretch (with a short diversions), is the deep crevasse of the Spaccata, then the characteristic Dazio village, the Còvelo di Rio Malo (a cavity that can be reached by means of a metal ladder) and the beautiful and original little church of Piccoli, dedicated to the Madonna di La Salette, built in the 19th century on a large landslide boulder.</p>
