A small fortified farmhouse (cascina fortificata) set along SP155 near Ilva Spa. Photograph weathered stone walls, defensive features (arrow slits, thick corners), and the farmhouse framed by rolling Piedmont hills. Best light is golden hour and blue hour for moody textures; late afternoon side-light brings out masonry detail. Accessible by car via SP155 with roadside parking; confirm private-property access before entering. Quiet rural setting means few crowds; watch for agricultural activity.
