The paesology, defective science founded by the poet Franco Arminio is a combination of “art of observation, disenchanted reflection, obstinate residence and flânerie, of human and civil passion and compassion”. Passing through some villages and suburbs of the municipality of Verbania, the walk begins near the Suna landing stage in front of the lake, crosses the village to take the A00 (A00) mule track that goes up the Monterosso. Arriving at the Church of the Nativity, where there is the majestic centuries-old Tasso, continue to Cavandone. After visiting the village, take the path (A00e/g) for the descent from Monterosso, this time in the direction of Fondotoce, to finally reach the village square.
