Soazza - The Roggia (irrigation ditch)

Soazza - The Roggia (irrigation ditch)

It runs down through the centre of the village and used to supply a dozen mills, a few lathes for processing soapstone, a forge and a crowd (buildings that have now disappeared or are used for other purposes), as well as three fountains and three wash-houses that still exist and recall Soazza’s agricultural and artisan past. It is worth mentioning the exploitation of soapstone, which was extracted and processed in Soazza. From the rounded blocks of stone extracted from the quarries, lathe work made it possible to obtain various types of receptacles, especially the pots known as “laveggi”.
