Brento Sanico. Valley Santerno
We are once again in this valley "tortured" to trace the paths of our grandparents. Brento Sanico, which was abandoned several decades, now I really do not take it anymore. Houses with roofs collapsing, walls open, the brambles are mercifully covering everything, everything that had been built with love, effort and skill using local materials, sand and wood for the buildings to build the few pieces of furniture. Yet here, where now there is only silence, still sticks in the air the dignity of a village where people lived so of hard work, but also of peace and sharing. Those who stop for a moment to think he sees this Brent Sanico, but it's a dream that is short, the reality is just sad. When you enter then in the "big" church, a great course for a country so small and you look up to see the dome is impossible not surprising to note that beautiful fresco of blue color that is still there, intact. Then ask ... why do not you try to retrieve this small and unique jewelry, unique cultural heritage that can give so much to everyone? The question, as always, remains unanswered!
The excursion.
It starts from behind the rectory of St. Pellegrino, taking the steep trail that climbs by touching a dovecote tower. A little later we leave the track to greatest turn right. He wins so the ridge where there is a wooden cross, perhaps mail recently. We move between pastures and fallow fields to reach Ca 'del Monte. Here the roof is still intact but will not stand still for long. Shortly after you meet a great majesty in which, unfortunately, there is a statue of the Madonna, the first set in a small niche. Another few minutes and you get to Brento Sanico. From the village continue on the dirt, always uphill, to reach an iron gate. Is exceeded but not up to the right on a slab of sandstone that ends just at the edge of an abyss. Keeping to the left of that plate is an obvious trail that travels along the hillside at the head of the valley of the Rio Brentana. After an uphill section and when you can see the ridge, take the trail that goes to
right, slightly downhill for a short distance. Then, too starts to climb and goes below the ridge until you reach a junction signposted on arrows. The trail on the trees are white and blue. (Going right and you cross the ridge, passing through La Vigna, you get to Ca 'Maggiore, in the Valley of Diaterna). It goes right. It 's a stretch of the path that leaves time to enjoy the view, although, unfortunately, the eye falls on who is disfiguring quarry disappearing Monte Coloreto. When you come to another fork, although the most obvious trace calls to go left, go straight and after a few meters, turn right at the net throwing down in the woods, where they found the trail white and blue. Therefore end in a disaster mule, by reporting houses scattered in the area. Shortly after you reach a great source. The trail leads to the right. Going straight you go up to a big house with no name on the card. It must be right. The path goes downhill and turns into the trail, a few meters from Brent Sanico, mule who had traveled in the morning. From here, return to your car, you go over the same road came.
