Tips from the Community
Ghigliani is one of those hamlets that tell the authentic atmosphere of rural Langa, with scenic roads and vineyards that descend steeply into the valleys. The church, secluded and simple, is still a gathering point for the few remaining inhabitants, but also a place that invites a stop for those passing through the hamlet.

The former Cotonificio Olcese Veneziano is one of the most important testimonies of Clavesana's industrial history. The plant became part of the Cotonificio Vittorio Olcese group in 1928. In those years, the Olcese group was the largest spinning mill in Italy by number of spindles, and Clavesana was one of its production hubs in the Langhe region.

Saint Gratus is venerated as the protector of fields from hail, lightning, floods, but also from drought and barn fires. Inside the chapel is an 18th-century altarpiece with the Madonna and Child, Saint Gratus, and Saint John the Evangelist.

In a splendid panoramic location, built of Langa stone, it is notable for the Baroque-style decoration of its brick façade. The building's design is attributed to Francesco Gallo, who worked in the Cuneo and Mondovì areas in the first half of the 18th century. The interior retains no decoration. The altar is noteworthy, the last vestige of the pre-existing building. This is evidenced by the fresco depicting the Madonna enthroned breastfeeding the Child, with Saint George, patron saint of Niella Belbo, at her side, dating to the late 15th century.
