August 25, 2026 Al Mazaròl Culture, Dolomitic Traditions

The name Staulanza comes from «stavolo», the seasonal high-mountain dwelling that made it possible to live and work on the pastures for part of the year. The Treccani documents it and explicitly names the pass: behind a col crossed today by cars and bicycles survives the memory of the working mountain.
