Smurfs Village in Bardineto

Highlight • Structure

A short walk from the center of Bardineto, an inland village in the Bormida Valley known for its excellent potatoes and porcini mushrooms, stands a cluster of four or five mushroom-shaped wooden houses, reminiscent of those in the famous cartoon by French cartoonist Peyo. In reality, they are the remains of a unique project dating back to the 1960s by Mario de Bernardi, a passionate enthusiast of construction and mushrooms, a local specialty. The small houses, built among centuries-old chestnut, beech, and birch trees, were not designed to be dedicated to the mythical blue inhabitants, but rather to mushrooms, whose appearance they resemble. The village houses were originally private homes and were rented out for a time as vacation rentals, so they are equipped with furniture and accessories such as a barbecue, oven, and firewood storage room.
