Hello, dear friends !! If you want to like, share or subscribe, I'll be very happy!!
In this video I take you with me to Mergozzo, a splendid location in the Piedmont Region, in Northern Italy.
Mergozzo, a charming fishing village overlooking the shores of the lake of the same name, is separated from Lake Maggiore by a strip of land and is a renowned holiday resort in the area.
This town has ancient origins, dating back to the Bronze Age, as evidenced by the remains of settlements now on display in the Antiquarium Museum which can be visited.
Its picturesque steep and narrow cobbled streets lead to the lake the central square which, as always happens in Italy, represents the center of life of the place.
The square is also dominated by a centuries-old elm tree, 400 years ago. Now hollow inside, this magnificent tree is the symbol of this place and certainly captures the attention of every visitor, who can then turn their gaze towards the lake and the enchanting natural scenery that characterizes it.
Lake Mergozzo is not a natural basin but was formed through erosion due to the continuous flooding of the Toce river which they dug for a long time forming this body of water which has the pride of being one of the cleanest lakes in Europe given the prohibition on circulating motor boats. Its beaches are in fact very popular during the summer season by inhabitants and tourists who take advantage of its splendid waters for a regenerating bath.
Also noteworthy in Mergozzo is the presence of the Church of the Assumption, with a baroque structure, whose origin dates back to 1,100. Of great impact is the wonderful and imposing facade with the statue of the Virgin that dominates it. The interior has works of considerable value but the incredible porch with the Chapel of the Via Crucis captures the attention, the recent restoration of which has brought to light very valuable frescoes from the 1700s.
If you pass by Mergozzo, also taste the typical dessert of the place, La Fugascina. You will not regret it....
My video then continues with a small hike on Montorfano Mount.
From Mergozzo, in fact, it is possible to follow different paths that run along the surrounding mountains, with splendid views of the lake.
I walked the fascinating Blue Path, which, with an easy 3 km route. in unspoiled nature, it leads up to the village of Montorfano, also of ancient origins, where it is absolutely a must to visit the beautiful Romanesque church dedicated to San Giovanni Battista.
Mount Montorfano is a granite mountain whose quarry, still active, has been exploited since 1800. This mountain was also the scene of the Cadorna Line during the First World War.
In this splendid area, therefore, you can spend relaxing days simply enjoying the unspoiled landscape, or go for walks that will certainly remain in your heart.

Dear friends, as always I thank you all for following me with affection and friendship and for the time you dedicate to my channel.
I also want to thank the many of you who have already visited the @Bonnie Nadine Newman's channel.
As you know, this splendid artist, singer, lyricist instrumentalist and performer, gave me the enormous joy of collaborating with her, through the drafting of Italian texts taken from my poems together with the wonderful music of Maestro Kjell Karlsson.
I also leave you the link of the playlist Bonnie wanted to dedicate to me.
