The communities residing in the valleys and alpine regions once held a profound connection to their ancestral and pagan traditions. Their way of life was intricately woven into the fabric of their natural surroundings, creating a symbiotic relationship with the ecosystem they inhabited. Their existence was guided by a profound wisdom, rooted in practices that harmonized human life with the Earth's resources, all while maintaining a delicate balance.

These practices were inherently tied to the rhythms of nature, giving rise to a rich cultural heritage deeply intertwined with the cycles of the natural world. This connection led to the creation of objects and structures that mirrored and drew inspiration from the organic shapes found in their environment. Consequently, when the Christian religion made its way into these regions, introducing imposing stone towers that seemed to stretch towards the heavens, some members of these communities who resisted this cultural shift sought refuge in the remote corners of their territory.

In folklore, these resilient individuals were often depicted as witches and malevolent beings, invoking fear among the villagers. Yet, these same people possessed invaluable knowledge about resource utilization, understanding the benefits of specific organisms and practices in food production. This knowledge was highly sought after by the villagers, even as they clung to their enduring legends.
