Affreschi, graffiti e fontane

The town of Ragoli is a lively and colourful village decorated with numerous graffiti and frescoes by a group of artists from theAcademy of Fine Arts of Brera (MI). The themes represented represent the history and local traditions, such as the work of blacksmiths in the forges, the extraction of black marble from Ragoli, peasant work, washerwomen in the fountains, hemp processing and the history of the silkworm. Of particular relief and historical importance is the graffito of the meeting of heads of families at the foot of the old "Campanil" delle Regole, created on the facade of the building of the Comunità delle Regole di Spinale e Manez. Ragoli also preserves numerous granite fountains, perfectly preserved and arranged in the various squares of the village, such as the large pentagonal granite fountain in Piazza Garibaldi built in 1852.
