... mischievous gnomes, water creatures, witches: in the woods that embrace the small, beautiful stone hamlets, legends and traditions centuries old continue to live. When the creatures of the fantastic enter people's homes, interesting things happen... [Anna Vallerugo]

Poffabro is an open-air museum in the heart of Val Colvera. 

Its "magical strength" lies in the enchanting effect of the rough-cut stones and wooden balconies, straightforward and austere elements that still provide a sense of intimacy and seclusion in the self-contained courtyards or in the long rows of houses with 16th-17th century layouts. 

The beauty of the village lies precisely in the humble reality of pillars, stairs, balconies, and stone arches, in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature.
