Country house Località Meyre Dell'Alps snc, Bellino

- BELLINO - Località Meyre dell'Alps is a very pretty cluster of huts located on the south-facing side of the Bellino valley: the two small meires being sold are located at an altitude of 1,700 metres, in an area easily accessible by car suitable for tackling dirt tracks, thanks to the recent construction of a driveway. The breathtaking view and proximity to the provincial road make these two cottages particularly attractive for those looking for a space all to themselves, in close contact with uncontaminated nature, in a corner of paradise; the load-bearing structure of the entire building is still in good condition despite the passage of time, highlighting the manual skills of the craftsmen who expertly worked the materials at their disposal.

Bellino (Blins) is, together with Pontechianale, the highest municipality in the Valley. It is made up of ten villages, characteristic examples of Alpine architecture in the Monviso area: Borgata Chiesa is the fulcrum of the municipality and develops into a group of buildings, gathered around the fifteenth-century Parish Church of San Giacomo; in Borgata Celle there is the eighteenth-century parish church of Santo Spirito. On numerous facades you can admire contemporary frescoes, probably works by local artists.

The territory of Bellino, divided into two parts by the water of the Varaita, starting from the 12th century, was disputed for a long time by different lordships: on the left bank the Dauphin of Vienna (Vienne sul Rhone), on the right bank the Marquis of Saluzzo. The Dauphin expands its possessions, defining the boundaries of the Castellata which includes the communities of Bellino, Casteldelfino and Pontechianale and recognizes administrative autonomy to the Federation of Briançon. In 1343, the Grand Escarton was born which also included the Castellata and other cross-border districts (Queyras, Briançon, Ulzio, Pragelato). The Marquis of Saluzzo cedes the rights to the lands on the right bank and exempts the men of the Castellata from paying tolls and duties for transit and trade through the Marquisate. In 1713, with the Peace of Utrecht, which put an end to the War of Succession in Spain, the dismemberment of the "Republic of Briançon" was decided. The Cisalpine Escartons are ceded to Piedmont. France, Spain's ally, attempted to recover "les vallées cédées" in 1740. In 1744 Bellino witnessed a bloody battle between the Piedmontese and the Franco-Spanish (Punta Cavallo). The French emerged victorious.

The number of casualties in the First World War and those in the Second were high, many missing in Russia.

The population of Bellino has undergone a sharp decline over time, due to emigration: first directed towards France, then towards the factories of the Piedmontese plain.

Bellino has preserved intact its ancient charm as a high mountain agricultural community.

The villages of Chiesa and Celle have been included in the recovery project of the Piedmont Region called Borgate . European funds have enabled the redevelopment and revitalization of these magnificent Alpine villages.
