Fiuminale is an abandoned village since the 80s, and it consists of two hamlets: Fiuminale Sottano and Fiuminale Soprano. It is a place out of time, suspended between present and past, earth and sky.

Fiuminale is a village abandoned since the 80s. There is no access road, so you have to go up the river from the bridge of hell in the municipality of Velone Orneto. The small chapel of St. Joseph was restored in 2012.

The church was begun at the beginning of the seventeenth century and completed in 1717. In 1740, embellishment works were carried out. The wall paintings were painted by Luigi Pollero in 1810. The main façade consists of two levels delimited by cornices and surmounted by a triangular pediment with three acroteria. On the first level, on either side of the portal, there are two niches that house the statues of Saint Nicholas and Saint Peter. The church ends in a semicircular apse. The bell tower rises at the junction of the apse and the right side façade. It has five floors that end in a dome surmounted by a cross. The interior consists of a nave and five richly decorated side chapels. On either side of the altar there are caryatid angels. Building dating from the first quarter of the 17th century (?), mentioned in the report of the pastoral visit of Msgr. Marliani, Bishop of Mariana and Accia, in 1646. It was restored in 1686 with the collaboration of master masons Lorenzo Chiglione and Giovanni Filippi. Rebuilt in 1717 and 1740. Main door dating from 1766. Painted decoration (investigated in the Palissy database) carried out by the painter Luigi Polleri in 1810, as shown by the date on the inside of the building. Restored in 1896.

This church has a special location. Every time I cycled past it I just had to stop for a moment. Very beautiful. 👍🏻

The suggested route is basically manageable even for inexperienced hikers. In my opinion, you should definitely wear sturdy (ankle-high) shoes if you want to go further than the bathing area. The bridge is a fun way to start, the waterfall is of course (in August) completely crowded, the rest area at the chapel is pleasant and the view and landscape in general is great. The way back on the road is relatively risky with the Corsican traffic.
