The forest is an ecological system where different plant species, insects, wild and domestic animals live together. It is also a cultural space managed by fantasy characters and figures with strict community rules. Along the way, read and listen to the stories of talking animals, witches, Crüsc, devils and saints that enliven the woods, mountains, alpine pastures, the village cores, the river or the caves of the Verzasca Valley. Legends are the ancient and profound expression that give name to the fears, challenges and ingenuity of the human being faced with the difficulties of life and nature.
