The so-called Market way (''Via del Mercato'') connects Locarno with Domodossola, through the Centovalli and the Val Vigezzo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.caivilladossola.it/catasto/descrizione_m.htm?M )〕 The way uses ancient path and mule tracks used in the past centuries by merchants transporting goods from Italy and Switzerland. In the early 20th century the Centovalli railway was built in order to develop the commerce and is nowadays a main tourist attraction. Today hikers can walk the 62 km path dividing it in four stages or they can also use the railways that run along the tracks. This way is part of the itinerary CoEur - In the heart of European paths. == The history == The "Via del Mercato", from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, was the way travelled by merchants, woodsmen, stockmen and migrants passing because of work from the Ticino to the Ossola. This connection was used since ancient times because it is an easy way through the mountains, due to the periadriatic seam, the geologic fault along which are aligned the Val Vigezzo, Locarno, Bellinzona and the Valtellina. The importance of this marginal land is lately declined, but many proofs of arts and culture are still present in the Val Vigezzo. The ancient road has been replaced by the present road, but it is still possible to find the old path thanks to the ways that connect villages and the ancient smuggling ways. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Via del Mercato」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
