The wool of the Sambucana sheep - bred almost exclusively in the province of Cuneo, and particularly in the municipalities of the \"Valle Stura di Demonte\" - has always been used to produce the traditional headgear of the Valley. The wool of this particular breed is now known internationally, and also used in the creation of fashionable designers. |
