Segusino

[3] The municipality of Segusino contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Col lonc, Stramare and Milies.

With the leading eyewear sector and the acquired specialization, several workers themselves became protagonists entrepreneurs, giving life to a dizzying multiplication of workshops, then imitated in the following years also by the neighboring municipalities.

Despite having suffered from the international crisis that opened the third millennium, Segusino is still rich in craftsmanship and industry: from eyewear, to chandeliers, to clothing.

There are also numerous family-run farms, ranging from the production of cow's and goat's milk derivatives, to the breeding of pigs, geese, rabbits, chickens, and even particular and precious sheep from wool and yarn.

[5] Part of the historical novel and Italian bestseller "Oltre le stelle" by the Lazio novelist Antonio Valerio Fontana is set in Segusino.

The novel "Wasere cuore di drago" by the writer Gian Berra tells of a story set in Segusino in the years preceding the First World War.
