Generazioni di avi nati e vissuti in una frazione isolata di montagna hanno mantenuto un legame con lo scorrere delle stagioni e le forme del territorio in una microstoria fatta di parentele e scandita da riti. Vengono scosse dalla storia quando diventa così ingombrante da intaccare gli equilibri più distanti.
L'autore, figlio di emigranti in Francia e affezionato alle sue origini racconta i risultati delle ricerche intorno al suo albero genealogico per nove generazioni. La storia di una famiglia diventa così una scusa per raccontare la vita quotidiana di un posto particolare che è la frazione di Troncea alle sorgenti del Chisone, dove gli abitanti apparentemente isolati parlavano correntemente e scrivevano fino a quattro lingue. La cicatrice della valanga del Beth, le vicende dei valdesi e la grande storia si intrecciano alla vita di persone con un nome, un cognome e addirittura un volto, seminando un senso delle radici e proponendo un modo di guardare al futuro.
The ancient mill bears witness to 800 years of history of water exploitation, from the feudal milling rights to the birth of the Salbertrand Municipal Electricity Company.

What is the first adjective that comes to mind when you think of the wolf? Bad, good, cunning, hungry, aggressive, mysterious...? The presence of the wolf, real or imaginary, has always accompanied human beings. The course will explore the relationship between man and wolf over time and history, drawing on literary materials (classical literature, fiction, myths, and popular local and non-local legends) that will be provided to the class as a stimulus and starting point for a broader reflection.

The river waters that produced ice, terraces now overgrown with vegetation, extensive larch woods once grazed, the icehouse, limestone quarries, charcoal kilns, lime kilns will help us discover the ancient trades of our grandparents.
A walk to discover the Colombano Romean Ecomuseum, ancient crafts, techniques, and tools born from the ingenuity of "practical" men: because "necessity is the mother of invention!"
