Segonzano

Segonzano extends down the Western and North-Western wooded slopes of Dosso di Segonzano and Ceramont, which divide the Cembra valley from the Piné Plateau. The town comprises 15 frazioni, which are situated in contrasting settings, ranging from an elevation of 500 metres above sea level in Pra to 1000 metres. Sevignano lies in the southern part of this area, while Gresta to the North-East. Gaggio lies in a valley troght which runs a river that bears the same name. Valcava stretches in the Rio Brusago valley, while Quaras and Gausaldo are situated in the valley of Rio Regnana. The area surrounding the Avisio torrent is perfect for growing grape vines, and is also famous for its industry, commerce, wood craftsmanship, arts and crafts.
One of the distinctive natural traits in Segonzano are its 20-metre high clay pyramids. These natural wonders have rocks on their summit, surrounded by lush vegetation.
A castle was built in Segonzano, but was unfortunately smashed by Napoleon's army. A  suggestive path called Sentiero del Dürer leads to the clay pyramids from Klösterle in San Floriano, chosen by the German painter on his first journey to Italy, to go to Venice, in 1494.
