Interesting facts The old mill used the water of the undergoing stream Venola as its power source. In the basement, where the water used to flow, the wooden water turbine that operated the mill itself is still visible. The original millstone that used to grind the grain is also preserved inside the building. The valley, a short walk from the Regional Park of Monte Sole and the National Etruscan Museum, is an important point of cultural and natural interest.
