The best walks and hikes around Agghju/Aggius

The building has a rectangular floor plan, with 3 levels and a total area of approx. 540 sq m. The main facade is symmetrical and has a length of approx. 39.50 m and a height of approx. 14.70 m. The tripartite division of the main facade, with the central part slightly protruding, is marked by visible granite ashlar quoins. This material is used for the composition of the plinth, the string courses and the cornice, which again divide the facade horizontally. A large central balcony and a wavy pediment, with a clock, also in the center, mark the main entrance and the centrality of the building in the square. The balcony and the simple and small tympanums (linear or triangular), which continue next to the jambs of the openings and which form the finishes of doors and windows, are also made of granite; the only exception is the complete frame that defines the main portal.

Alfredo Graziani was born in Tempio on January 2, 1892. At the front from the very first days of the Great War, he fought with the infantry of the 151st Regiment Brigata Sassari, commander of the 12th company, but paradoxically continuing to wear his cavalry uniform, he is the famous lieutenant "Grisoni" told in the book by Emilio Lussu "A Year on the Altipiano". Appreciated and esteemed throughout the Brigade for having attacked by surprise and conquered "the tangle's tooth", a solid advanced trench on the Carso (also called "Trincea Zeta"), defended by a battalion of Hungarians. For this action, he was awarded the bronze medal and silver medal for military valor to the survivors. In this action, 30 men went on the attack and 12 returned. Equipped with a camera, he documented the life of the Brigade even in tragic moments. After the First World War, he returned to civilian life and continued his profession as a lawyer, which, however, he interrupted in 1935 to return as a volunteer to East Africa and shortly after to Spain. He also enlisted as a volunteer in the Second World War, fighting in Greece. He wrote the book: "Sardinian Infantry in the Shadow of the Tricolour". He died in Tempio in 1950.

The San Lorenzo Park is characterized by a small church in the middle of the woods. The walk is suggestive and worth doing to reach the summit. The little church is often closed, and sometimes used for weddings, precisely because of its unique and exclusive location in the harmony of Nature. On August 10th, it is celebrated with a mass and a free outdoor lunch.

Beautiful panorama over Aggius, Monte de la Cruzi and Monte Fraili from Tempio Pausania.

Dedicated to the memory of Alessio Pirino, a young boy from Aggius who became an angel, too soon. He now guards this beautiful park, perfectly maintained and adjacent to a drinking water source. Equipped, well-kept, and clean. Open in the evening too.

Is worth more than Tempio. Very beautiful old mountain village

In almost every village, hikers and walkers encounter such a monument. For many generations, it was mostly referred to as a "war memorial," but in more recent German-speaking regions, the term "memorial to the fallen" has become somewhat more common, in order to emphasize less the heroic aspect of the war (this was a particularly strong focus during the so-called "interwar period," when many of these monuments were erected). In recent decades, however, attention has increasingly been drawn to the misery and suffering of the soldiers who fell in the war, whose names are inscribed here. For they ultimately paid for their service to their country with their lives.

Granite town in the mountains. Beautiful.
