The charming location is nestled between the hills of Alta Langa (Cuneo) and the Ligurian Sea.

Centro sportivo

Neviglie - CN

This is the village sports centre. It consists of a five-a-side football pitch (which can also cater for other sports), a bar-warehouse and a huge space in front, which can also be used for live concerts. Manager sought.

Casa Comunale di Trezzo Tinella

Trezzo Tinella - CN

House under construction with completed exterior and interior to be finished. Very spacious and equipped with a garage. The municipal property makes the building available to private organisations or associations at a subsidised annual price, with the condition that they finish the interior work.

Impianti Sportivi - Campo Tennis e Sferisterio

Clavesana - CN

Within the sports area by the Tanaro river, there are two courts once used for Tennis and Pallapugno in a state of semi-abandonment. The courts are damaged by time and neglect but still usable. Between them a green lawn expands their square footage. They are fenced and equipped with benches, the toilets are functional as the adjacent football pitch is currently used and maintained by the Clavesana Calcio Sports Association. Extraordinary maintenance work is needed, and the public administration is willing to put the area under multi-year management. However, for large-scale events, the area can be used immediately.

Scuola materna - piano rialzato

Clavesana - CN

The building was the former nursery school of the village, which was abandoned after a new one was built following the great flood of 1994. The first mezzanine floor is currently accessible, while the basement floor is not. The building is spacious and has the typical architecture of a kindergarten, with small toilets and cosy spaces. Currently used as a warehouse by the pro loco, the mayor intends to make it available to associations, spontaneous groups and small events that need it. There is a large fenced garden that can also be used.
