Church, mill and local community life

A specific local connection leads to the hamlet of Ricca: The sports facility in the hamlet of Ricca, Via Alba Cortemilia 150, includes a sferisterio and a recreational association. This places a community and sports theme alongside the town’s cultural connections. The Church of San Rocco Cherasca became the new parish church in 1931. This date provides the local history with a clear historical anchor that you can take into account when planning the theme of your stay.

The San Rocco Cherasca mill also offers its own way of accessing the history of the area. Its waterwheel was powered by water from the Cherasca River, which was supplied via a closed reservoir. To grind wheat and corn, the mill used stones known as “palmenti”. For visitors interested in regional working and technological history, this area of interest offers a particularly tangible perspective.
