The village and its heritage

Celleno is a village with a layered history: partially depopulated in the postwar period, it is today accessible and promoted as an open-air historical route featuring medieval structures and archaeological clues. Local anecdotes and heritage stories add atmospheric depth to visits and are often integrated into cultural initiatives.

The Ghost Egg Hunt aims to be both a fun gathering and a way to foster awareness of Celleno’s cultural and historical values, encouraging respectful and sustainable visits.
