Viganella's problem is that it was built at the bottom of a very steep-sided Alpine valley, right up against the Swiss border.
The southern side of the valley is so sheer that on 11 November the sun disappears and does not reappear until 2 February.
Not one ray of sunlight falls on Viganella in the weeks in between.
"It's like Siberia," one woman said - and remember this is Italy.
