Located between 1000 and 1100 meters above sea level in a place where paths 11 from Fociomboli and 128 from Tre Fiumi to the Rifugio Del Freo converge, this basin is surrounded by the Corchia, Freddone Pania della Croce and Pizzo delle Saette mountains, which from here it appears in its most imposing guise.
In past centuries, and up to the 80s, it was used by the shepherds of the Terrinca community, as evidenced by the old farmhouses and ruins of the area and also a church that stands in the center of the mountain pasture. Some farmhouses have been renovated and used for the reception of hikers and day trippers with beds and kitchen: the “Il Robbio” hut which is a small farm, the “Ciampi” hut and the “La Quiete” refuge.
The church of Puntato is dedicated to the SS. Trinity and dates back to 1679, nearby there was an older majesty built for his devotion by Francesco Bacchelli with a marble icon dedicated to the Madonna of the Rosary with the Child and St. John the Baptist. After the dismantling of the majesty, the icon was walled up on the church wall and subsequently stolen in 1973.
