Mirror miracle
Residents of a sunlight-starved Italian village are rejoicing after a giant mirror has been erected to solve their problem.
The tiny town of Viganella, nestled in the Ossola valley, is plunged into darkness during the winter months as the surrounding mountains cut out the sunlight.
However, now the village is basking in rays thanks to an eight-by-five meter computer-driven mirror positioned on one side of the valley which follows the sun’s path and reflects light back.
Mayor Pierfranco Midali said: "It wasn’t easy, we had to find the proper material, learn about the technology and especially find the money." The seven-year project cost almost £67,166 (100,000 Euros).
