Another legacy of that event is the colony of white doves that, following the liberation during the filming, settled in the town of Oliena between the old uninhabited houses and the attics of the Jesuit college.

The ascent towards Pradu marks a clear change in the landscape: as one ascends, the more luxuriant vegetation gives way to a limestone and stony terrain typical of the old forest tracks.
This area, registered as a biotope of national interest, is home to rare and unusual species such as the Ribes Sardoum and the peony, also known as the ‘mountain rose’. The latter signals the arrival of spring on the heights, but only for a very limited period, about 15 days.

Pradu can be reached via path B-401, a recently laid out route that connects the center of Oliena with the summit of Monte Corrasi. The path, which climbs steadily, traverses a variety of landscapes, including pine forests, mid-coast ilex groves and ancient woods, embellished with marvelous century-old holm oaks.
