Nature

To the west, Santo-Pietro-di-Venaco is overlooked by Monte Cardo, which reaches an altitude of 2,453 metres. The village lies on an 860-metre-high promontory and is part of the Natura 2000 site FR9400578 “Massif du Rotondo”.

At the Petra Furnella quarry, the three-tiered quarry face is still visible. The quarry extracted blue Turquin marble and regularly produced slabs, skirting boards and paving stones, primarily for export.
