A commemorative cache dedicated to the date of 02/22/2022 composed practically of only 2 and moreover pure palindrome!
In front of it there is an old building, it is "the spinning wheel", an ancient factory that gives its name to the neighborhood, now owned by a large furniture factory and actually rather run down. In 1878 the spinning machines in Druento were in reality two, perhaps three and employed about 300 workers.


Sericulture was practiced at a family level, with it appeared in the countryside the mulberry trees whose leaves served as nourishment for the silkworms, planted to mark the boundaries between the lands, were then gradually demolished almost all because they were an obstacle to modern mechanized vehicles. to agricultural production, sericulture is true that it improved the meager family budgets, but it certainly did not help the already precarious hygienic conditions of the houses, since to maximize earnings, they took care of all the spaces and environments with the "bigat" inhabited, including kitchen.

While planing my vacation in Italy, I spotted this four OpenCaches on the map near Torino. As Torino was one of the cities we might pass one way or the other, I had hope to find the time to do a caching run out here. Plans changed several times — as they always do – but lat in the last full vacation day I managed to take a bus out here to Druenta.

This was the first cache and I found it quickly with the help of the hint. Nice construction for this cache and interesting history to read. Thank you Br1ma!

I assume this cache is also listed as GC9NN2X and just the link and the not significant update to the coordinates got forgotten. Would be nice if this can be updated. Then it would be a perfect OpenCache 😉. In any case, thank you for listening this cache also on OC. This way I knew which caches to try.
