The village of Gignese is situated 700 m above sea level on the
slope that slopes down from the Mottarone Lago Maggiore. The village is
situated between two rivers: the Grisana or 71.6 North and Annoys him or
Erno South. Legend has it that the country format Genesio Dotti,
genovese escaped from the 12th century, which would have landed at the
mouth of the Erno with his wife and three daughters. Here his wife would
die of starvation, and the remaining family would come up the River to
the pass at the Agogna, spout by attaching the abode. Like any good
story, it concludes with a happy ending: the marriage of three girls
with three young baldi Habit and the birth of the country. The economy
of the past was essentially linked to the raising of livestock, as the
altitude and location do not allow sufficient cereal cultures. Other
country's wealth were the Woods, then sacrificed to form new pastures
and pastures just today returned to cover with their green roof the
bumps become wild from ferns. The profound transformation wrought by
tourism and the increased prosperity to it have almost cleared the
resulting types of archaic peasant architecture, characterized by low
construction with stone portals. Most common are the buildings dating
back to the seventeenth eighteenth century.
