Un po' di storia:
Le prime notizie del borgo risalgono al XIII secolo.
Essendo vicino alla via della Spina ove transitavano importanti traffici commerciali vi furono costruite nel XIV secolo alcune fortificazioni.
A seguito del terremoto del 1997 la popolazione del borgo si ridusse notevolmente.

the medieval village of waters
(Parma (PR) - Emilia Romagna)

We visit Rasiglia, a village that has retained the characteristics of a medieval town.
Located approximately 1968 feet above sea level, in the municipality of Foligno, it is characterized by the Menotre River that flows through it.
Wandering through its narrow streets caressed by the water is captivating.

A bit of history:
The first records of the village date back to the 13th century.
Because it was close to the Via della Spina, a major trade route, fortifications were built in the 14th century.
At the beginning of the 17th century, as trade declined, activities related to the mills and factories powered by the Menotre River took on particular importance.
Following the 1997 earthquake, the village's population significantly decreased.
