Leaving the High Nera Valley, climbing back up the Campiano Valley, there is a noticeable change in landscape: the steep and densely wooded mountain sides are suddenly replaced by softly undulating, almost flat slopes; the valley is wide and bright, the landscape bears a strong human imprint.

Along the valley the vast crop-cultivated areas have almost all transformed into fields and pastures, which are home to isolated oaks, in rows or in small woods, almost all with a tall trunk and often secular. Along the pits and the rivers, rows of Italic poplar, of the ancient cypress variety; the mountainous slopes generally distant (overbearing only in the area between Borgo and Piedivalle), maintain ancient forest vegetation.

The small olive groves, which enjoy a south-westerly exposure, are a strange sight to behold at the foot of Collescille; to the north, they are sheltered by the mountain and grow on a thermophilic terrain of limestone debris.
