Society

Unfortunately, in recent years, the population of Somano has been decreasing more and more. This negative trend began already in our century, and in the last 100 years, the decrease has been 66%. This fact could lead to reflect on the importance of maintaining and enhancing local traditions, in order to retain people in their native town.
