THE GUARDIAN OF THE GRAN TURNA
In the “Gran Turna” trail, specifically near Cascina Patuana, there is an impressive boulder that, when viewed from certain angles, resembles the silhouette of a sleeping shepherd dog. This characteristic position is well known to owners of Maremma sheepdogs and other working dogs. Just as the weather-worn rocks of Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, Borgata Sala also boasts this curious rock formation that evokes the suggestive image of a sleeping dog. It is one of the many fascinating details that enrich the landscape and local culture, offering residents and visitors yet another reason for wonder and contemplation within the picturesque natural setting of Borgata Sala.
