Mulino Bertagnolli, giò a l'aca

Along the gorge of the rio Sass, below Fondo, seven mills and two sawmills once operated. The Bertagnolli mill is what remains, and it ground wheat, buckwheat, rye and maize until 1950. The two large water wheels drove a millstone and a pearling stone, the latter used to hull barley; apart from the paddle wheel, which was rebuilt recently, the machines are the original ones and still work. In the rooms are the stai, the minèle and the scales, the winnowing machine and the sieves for cleaning the grain, two chests for the flours and a sledge with a raised edge to keep the sacks in place; a lathe from the early 1900s recalls the other trades of the village.
