September 22, 2024,Domobianca monte Moncucco 46.102772, 8.257250

Interesting day, very beautiful place, open weather that was not on my side, and therefore the view was a bit limited, but full of interests due to the organization of Domobianca 360 that today there was music at high altitude with Fabio Concato I advise everyone to go to their site for future events.
