At the springs of Secchia, three States bordered between the mid-15th century and 1847: the large pasture of Prataccio was divided into three slices for the shepherds of Cerreto, Succiso, and Camporàghena. A large basin of glacial origin, dominated by the ridges of Alpe Marina, Pietratagliata, Spiaggia Bella, Casarola attracts hikers in any season more than any other place in the valley.
