Two villages, Erto and Casso, are two picturesque Friulian mountain villages with narrow streets, which are interesting gateways to visit the Friulian Dolomites National Park, as they are located to the south, unlike the other localities. They are infamous for the Vajont tragedy, which ravaged part of the territory on 9 October 1963, killing 347 people here. Schoolchildren and Italian visitors come to Diga Del Vajont to observe what remains of the dam and to become aware of the extent of the disaster, but also of the risks of human construction on a geologically unsuitable terrain.
