Triora

During a famine that had lasted for more than two years, Triora opened a witchcraft prosecution in the late summer of 1587. The municipal history records twenty arrests; thirteen women, four girls and a boy were declared guilty in the first phase. Letters, interrogation and torture records, and death sentences from the proceedings survive.

Triora's round bread is still identified by the municipality as the town's principal product. Near the entrance to the old village, the historic oven is preserved as part of that local food history.

Nice (NCE) is the nearest international airport, about two hours by car; Genoa about two and a half. The last thirty-five kilometres are a narrow provincial road up the Argentina valley.
