Viganella, The Italian Village Lit By A Mirror

A sun-deprived village in the Italian Alps has come up with a novel solution to fix the problem – by installing a giant mirror.
Viganella is a picturesque village nestled in the Italian Alps, located in the Piedmont region. What makes Viganella stand out is a remarkable engineering project called the “Mirror of the Sun” or “Specchio del Sole” in Italian. This project was initiated to address a natural geographical challenge that left the village in shadow for approximately three months each year.
