It is a quarry used to build Milan Duomo and Certosa di Pavia: two very important buildings and work of arts of Northern Italy! Nowadays it is used for cultural events and concerts. It is known among local children to be the real Santa Claus cave ! every year on December children coming from all over Italian country arrive here to meet elves and walk through a long gallery to reach Santa’s throne. they leave there their letters for Santa!

On June 22 Valentina got back to Lake Orta once again for another romantic wedding: Selina and Mark’s.
They chose Villa Bossi for their civil ceremony and Ustaria Ca dal Rat for their reception to follow.
For her decorations Selina wanted a real Italian touch!
She opted for little olive trees on each table as centrepiece batching a little olive branch each guest. They were all provided by La Piccola Selva Floral Designer They were so fresh and natural! They perfectly matched Orta style.
As special little favour for her guests she chose a little Ferrero Rocher… everybody loved it.
A great pop rock band played for the evening. The group had the best time everybody danced!!
