Villas in Pignone

About Pignone

Pignone began as a pre-Roman trading settlement, and the centre still keeps much of its medieval street plan. Piazza Marconi, the former cattle market, looks onto a 14th-century loggia, and the 14th-century parish church holds paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. The hamlet of Casale has a two-arch bridge and the ruins of old fortifications. Around the village the ground is karst, with caves and sinkholes beside old mule tracks. The homes sit close together and are mostly small, nearly all with a pool and a garden.
