This valley located just behind Toscolano between monte Pizzocolo and Monte Castello was back in the year ‘400 an important pole for the paper industry. Its favourable position on the river banks of Toscolano made it an interesting place for building paper mills. However, with the technological progress electrical energy replaced water energy.
