The little town lies at the foot of Pizzo Gerlo, at the outlet of Val Madre. It includes different inhabited places where some important frescos of the fifteenth century are preserved. One of them is on the high altar of the little church called Madonnina (XV/XVI c.). The hamlet of Poira, with its ancient houses and mills (XVI c.) is very interesting. Colorina is a wll-known place thanks to the presence of an institute founded by Don Giovanni Folci. The economy of the village is based on building industry, agriculture and cattle-breeding.
