Maierà is a small village located in a scenic location 360 meters above sea level, on the Vaccuta Creek valley. The town is located at the foot of Mount Carpinoso, next to the town of Grisolia, from which it is separated only by the Vaccuta valley. The origins of the village date back to the Basilian period, when in the area flourished degrees and hermitages, that after so many centuries still lend their names to many places of the territory.
