The mountains ought to combine scenic beauty, pristine nature and human presence. The latter needs to be increasingly qualified in order to fight depopulation and, conversely, guarantee a better quality of life compared to the city.
According to Mariano Allocco, secretary of the Terre Alte Association ("terre alte" is the Italian term for highlands or high country), Piedmont mountains can and should turn into a monumental laboratory where this leap in quality can be tested; starting from Allocco's own valley in the Cuneo province, Val Maira.
