The area in
which
Muzzana is located
was covered with a
widespread forest
in Roman times,

 |
the Silva
Lupanica owing its name to the presence of wolf
packs and of which some
patches remain in the
woods of the plains of
Baredi and
Selva degli Arvonchi,
characterized by several
examples of local trees and
brushwood. An old
17th-18th-century mill
on River Turgnano has been
preserved to testify the
crucial role of the river in
the area. The lovers of
music will be fascinated
with discovering, in the
Neoclassical parish
church, an 18th-century
monumental organ
by Pietro Nacchini,
a native to Dalmatia, who
not only built an
instrument that is
enchanting for the clarity
of its sounds, but also
handed down the
rules he had used to
tune it by engraving them
for future memory on the
keyboard.

resurgences from which
rivers or streams or
simply natural springs
often originate,
