What an extraordinary sundial village! The number must certainly be the result of the "Aiello sundial Project"? does a report on this project exist in English? I noticed several years of competition.

I was most struck by the number and great application of _reflecting_ sundials. Not only are there reflecting dials on north facing walls but some are used to extend the hours served on highly declining walls as well. When properly done as shown, the same hour lines can be used for the reflected spot or shadow of the mirror.

 This is certainly worthy of a report in of itself.  Is there one?

Hi Woody

That's not all - there is another sundial village (or perhaps a small town) in 
Italy: Aiello del Friuli (about 120 km from Venice). Here is a map from the 
official website in English:

According to their register they have got nearly a 100 dials there.

Hope this helps
