The oven walk (next)

The Sinigaglia house also has a working oven but it is located in the kitchen and cannot be visited.

Next, follow the path up to the stairs under the archway. Go down the stairs and take the path that leads off to the left. After about ten minutes walk you will see a small construction which lies in half-ruin and against which is growing a fig tree. It's an oven , but in a very sad state of repair!

Take the path which leaves the hamlet via the north. Walk about 100 meters and then take the sloping entry between the two walls of dried mud and stone on your right. Continue five meters. To the right you will see an restored oven . Note the pierced stone at the base of the oven, used to remove the ashes. Continue the path towards the village. When you are opposite the Genoese tower, turn left so as to attain the square which is surrounded by houses. Continue the length of the Campana house on the left. At the end, you will see an apse attached to the end of the house: this is a beautifully worked interior oven . Continue your circuit, passing by the archway that leads back to the main square. Turn left and follow the houses as you head towards the road which leads to Ponticellu. The last oven is attached to the Casabianca house located on the square at the entry to the hamlet. It is now a beautiful restored oven.
