Along the La Ruffa Torrent eight water mills were built, some in Arab architecture and others “a pinnata” (sloping roof).  Only one is still functioning in the Lampazzone district.These water mills  remained in working order until after the Second World War but, where they still  exist, they are at this point to be considered  part of the area’s historical patrimony. Wheat and other cereals were brought to the mill on the backs of donkeys, but also carried on the men’s shoulders and on the women’s heads.
