Un posto da visitare sicuramente in una città che grazie al suo giovane sindaco sta cambiando tutto.

FRANCESCA CARNEVALI

Bellissima e suggestiva. Peccato sia aperta solo nel weekend per visitarla internamente. Molti rifiuti sulle rive del lago Fusaro: ci vorrebbe maggior cura per un sito così bello.
