Each hamlet in Pietracorbara still
has its ovens, but the
hamlet of Ornetu
has the most (eight intact ovens - six of which are outside -
remain of the seventeen ovens counted in 1925) and the best preserved;
some the ovens have even been restored.
Go to the main square of Ornetu
(you can park here). The tower is opposite. Turn left and
climb the stairs leading up. The first oven lies next to the fountain
and is covered with weeds. This oven is referred to as Mari'Anto's
oven ,
and is named after the person who used it last. It was used regularly
to cook bread up until 1926.
Continue the stairs to the very top.
Turn right between the two houses,
below the dried mud and stone wall. There is an oven which has been entirely renovated
, it is private so it is not possible to visit it. It is located
under the house, in the garden.
