The Gutwiarghini [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
The Gutwiarghini
along the dirt road descending from Fairy Lake to Isella, in the wood, on the left side, you will happen to see some strange figurines, carved in the stools by a local artist, depicting the characters of an old legend : the Gutwiarghini.

Good workers
They were the dwarfs once living in Macugnaga
They were very shy, maybe fearing that someone could deride them for their short height or because their feet were reversed, so they were always hidden !
But they had brains and taught mountain population how to get butter, cheese and ricotta from milk
