Frabosa Soprana Live Cam

History

Frabosa Soprana, perched at 1,050 meters in the Province of Cuneo, bears witness to a layered past that reflects the ebb and flow of alpine dominions. Its origins trace back to the Middle Ages, when hamlets clustered around fortified farmsteads to withstand incursions and manage high-altitude pastures. The earliest documented mention appears in 12th-century charters, highlighting the importance of transhumance and alpine grazing rights. Over ensuing centuries, Frabosa Soprana’s strategic position on mountain passes linking the Monregalese plains to the Ligurian coast ensured its prominence in “Piedmont hiking trails” and shepherd routes. With the ascent of the House of Savoy in the 14th century, local feudal lords fortified stone chapels and communal granaries, establishing a territorial framework that still shapes the layout of the frazioni (hamlets) of Mondolè Inferiore and Seirasso today.
