From the square of Paggese<\/strong> (447 m), take the road on the right, slightly downhill, passing by the Church of San Lorenzo<\/strong>. The narrow streets of the village hold the famous \u201cTalking Stones\u201d<\/strong>, ancient Latin inscriptions carved on portals and windows, telling the history and ingenuity of those who lived in these mountain houses. <\/p>\n Following the paved path, you reach a restored fountain<\/strong>, a place of rest and refreshment for hikers and residents. After about ten minutes of walking, you arrive at the first houses of Luco<\/strong>, under the imposing profile of Castel di Luco<\/strong>. Continue to the right, leaving behind the detour to the Monastery of Valledacqua<\/strong>, and the trail, always clearly visible, crosses cultivated fields and small rural clusters until reaching the hamlet of Piedicava<\/strong>. <\/p>\n A short descent leads to the Angelini Mill<\/strong>, still a testament to the farming work and life along the stream, now unusable after the earthquake but rich in memory.
