In Calosso for "Un pomeriggio al Paludo"

With the inauguration of the original "Fuori-Luogo Tour", Calosso began the program of appointments of the annual "Feast of the Summer" organized by the Pro Loco led by Mauro Ferro, in collaboration with the municipal administration and the various Associations. The invitation to everyone is now on Sunday June 18th at the traditional nature event "Un pomeriggio al Paludo": at 17.00 from Piazza Umberto I will take the walk to the small oasis of "Paludo" where you will be able to admire the beauty of a special humid ecosystem, protected and valorised for the precious environmental elements. This will be a meeting place for a pleasant evening in the company, animated by interventions and "tasty presences".

 

"The Paludo"

It is an extended area between the municipalities of Agliano Terme, Calosso and Costigliole d'Asti of great agricultural and natural interest, located in a buffer zone (bearing area) of the Unesco site. The particular morphology of the site, which is distinguished by a singular ripple, suggests that there was a Romanesque church in antiquity. The lake of Sant'Agnese is frequented by many species of birds and in this area, which represents a winter and summer dormitory of some ornithic species particularly interesting, it has been for many years the ringing of birds by the Ornithological Observatory of Asti . The habitat hosts several other animals to several species of wild orchids.
