    Sorgenti Street starts from Felice Calvi Square -in the upper part of Moio de ' Calvi. Following it about 50 m, you reach the starting point of the path: a stairway that quickly gets the woods. Climb the steep path and get the pleasant clearing of Prato Piazza. Enter the woods, passing by ruined huts closely besieged by trees, and cross the dark pinewood “Fund de l’ Era”. Beyond it, the forest returns brighter and the path then climbs steeply in a sparse woodland, with beautiful views on the plain of Lenna and beyond. The forest suddenly ends, and you get a wide grassland area: the lower and southern Torracchio pastures part of Torcola mount top. Follow the dirt road heading northward, pass by a hut and then another one with bird-hunting facility. Reached the long ruins of a cattle shed, you leave the dirt road, turn left on a track (not marked) heading northwards. Walking slightly uphill, cross a small grove reach the pond near the Roccolo Rho (bird-hunting hut and crossroad with 119 path - view on Piazzatorre village). Climb on the meadow east of the pool and get easy the top of Torcola Mount, with a magnificent view on surrounding valleys and the peaks beyond them.
