The “La Madonnina” nature oasis is situated on the right bank of the Stura di Demonte river in the municipality of Sant’Albano Stura, 20 km north of Cuneo.
Extending over an area of 220,000 m2 in a former natural aggregates quarry, the land was donated to the town by our company to create a bird reserve. The land was transferred in two parcels, with the first 100,000 m2 donated in 2003 and the remaining 120,000 m2 in 2009. With the donation of the last parcel and the installation of bird-watching infrastructures, the oasis has become one of the most important wetlands in Piedmont, dedicated to passionate ornithologists and enjoyed as a place of recreation in the middle of nature by families and children alike.
On Sunday, March 17, 10 years after the first parcel of land was transferred, the town council awarded Buzzi Unicem with a plaque for making this tranquil, peaceful Oasis visited by thousands of people possible.
