The Catholich church has always had a knack to find awe inspiring places to put their churches. Along Val Trebbia there are several churches perched on the top of steep cliffs, but none can compete with the church of Brugnello. This is in the most spectacular part of the valley, where the river is deep down in the valey and the vegatation is the most impenetrable. I used to come in this part of the valley very often in my youth. Spending the weekend up here with friends, swimming in the river, fishing and collecting mushroms where all favorites activities. In later years the winding road was a magnet for my motorbike rides
