Traves (Traves)
Traves borders the following municipalities: Mezzenile, Pessinetto, Viù, and Germagnano.
The commune is less ancient than others in the valley and the parish church was built only in the seventeenth century.
The main activity of the village has been, for a long time, the exploitation of copper and nickel mines and its inhabitants were specialized in the production of nails.
Today the economy is based on tourism and on the work of commuters who reach the municipalities of the plain. In the village there is an "Ecomuseo dei Chiodaioli" (an ancient foundry)
Curious and very popular are the typical festivals that punctuate the program of summer events animated by the associations of the country. Among these, the two patronal festivals of Santa Blandina (June 2) and San Pietro in Vincoli (in the first weekend of August), and some festivities dedicated to the ancient and fascinating chapels located in the various hamlets of the country and to the numerous voluntary associations.

Country - Italy
Flag of Italy |
Italy was the native place of many civilizations such as the Italic peoples and the Etruscans, while due to its central geographic location in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, the country has also historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures, who immigrated to the peninsula throughout history. The Latins, native of central Italy, formed the Roman Kingdom in the 8th century BC, which eventually became a republic with a government of the Senate and the People. The Roman Republic initially conquered and assimilated its neighbours on the Italian peninsula, eventually expanding and conquering a large part of Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. By the first century BC, the Roman Empire emerged as the dominant power in the Mediterranean Basin and became a leading cultural, political and religious centre, inaugurating the Pax Romana, a period of more than 200 years during which Italy's law, technology, economy, art, and literature developed.
