Piné e CembraCembra.
This town is the valley´s administrative centre, and boasts elegant palazzos and rural districts. This is where the "situla" (ancient bucket-shaped vase) was found, adopted as symbol by the local vine-growers. The Gothic San Pietro is one of the valley´s most interesting churches. Its interiors preserve an especially rich array of paintings and the remains of a 16th century wooden triptych. Famous is the porphyry stone that commemorates the spot from where the German artist Dürer painted Segonzano. Among Cembra´s ancient customs, noteworthy is the "Canta dei mesi", an allegorical masquerade of the mystery play genre held every year in the last days of Carnival. The local economy mainly hinges on porphyry quarrying and on vine-growing and wine-making. Noteworthy is the Cantina della Valle di Cembra winery, the highest in Italy, which specialises in the production of the excellent Müller Thurgau. Soft fruits are also intensively grown.
