1° prize
The very steep area “Ronco Do” consisting of various land plots of an entire
surface of about 12’730 m2 is situated west, just beside the historic centre of
the village and is surrounded on two sides by forest.
The project won the first prize of a competition and includes the integration
of a vineyard in the southern part and an orchard in the northern part. It is
intended to use exclusively historic grape and fruit species for the project.
In the lower part, a simple roof structure offers protection and shade for the
visitors. A walkway throughout the entire area will be open to the public.
In spite of the panoramic view, the upper part of the area is disturbed by
noise pollution coming from the industry and the Highway in the Vedeggio
Valley.
