The village of the Vescino family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ville San Pietro, nowadays an hamlet of the municipality of Borgomaro, \u201cis made up of the villages of Garsi, Barca, Case Soprane, Chiapparolo, Costa, and Marpere. There are plenty of municipal pastures, and therefore the number of cattle remains fairly high, it is more than 400 sheep. ” (quote from: \u201cNotizie topografiche e statistiche sugli Stati Sardi opera preceduta dalle teorie generali sulla statistiche e speciali alle riconoscenze militari: 2.4.2, Volumi 1-3; Tipografia Chirio e Mina, 1847\u201d)
Each township was a completely self-sufficient community.
Chiapparolo is a tiny village built, like many in past centuries, as the settlement of a single family, the Vescino. The success of these aggregates and of the main village of Ville San Pietro depended on the strategic position along the mule track connecting the two fundamental “salt roads” or “vie marenche\u201d on the ridge and on the valley floor.
The origin of these villages is uncertain, probably prior to the 14th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
