In Fossato di Vico the ''wrinkles'' that never make look older
At Fossato di Vico the whole
particularity of the '' wrinkles '', characteristic road system of rare
beauty
Every suburb possesses its own charm and Fossato
di Vico doesn't make exception. In this small centre an ancient medieval
air can be breathed, since everything has remained as it was and everything is
at its place. The total maintenance of architectural and urban elements nearly
allow the visitor to enter into a fairy climate, where it's not always easy to
distinguish the reality from the imagination. Besides the typical characters
medieval Fossato di Vico possesses a particular road structure, the '' wrinkles
'', a tangled net of channels covered with vaults in round stone, with acute
arcs and in some case also with a truss in boarding. These are narrow roads,
low and covers thought for defensive purposes crossing which is not difficult
to feel as catapulted in another time. They are a rare example of architecture
of the epoch, when the constructions were made for lasting and to never grow
old.
