Geography
A view of the famous Sass Fendù

In the district Foppiano of Crodo there's a woodland that is famous for the many boulders that were found among the trees. In fact the area is a notorious climbing spot among bouldering climbers and the boulder "Sass Fendù" has become a symbol of this place. The valley is known for climbing since the late 90s mostly because of the many gathering and competitions that have been arranged there.

Demographic evolution
gollark: One problem I can see is that you're not initializing `total`.
gollark: oh Cthulhu the lack of indentationAnyway, what's the problem?
gollark: The government has some sort of scheme for subsidizing internet connection upgrades in rural areas which I think we're eligible for, except we have a long contract with the ISP so it probably wouldn't be very useful in the short run.
gollark: The main advantage would probably just be an SLA (not that important, I have basically zero reliability requirements) and static IP (convenient).
gollark: No idea, didn't check.
