In the valley carved out by the Arzino the main player is water: the sulphurous one of the Barquet brook has in the past given life to a spa station, while in the vicinity a grotto was opened known as the house of the Agane, beautiful and cruel fairies whose tears are the source of the stream. Girolamo "Jacopo" Ortis, was born in these parts, a medical student  who committed suicide in Padua, he was inspired by the leading character in a novel by Ugo Foscolo.
