No Sun? No Problem: Italian Villagers Build Their Own Sunlight Using Giant Mirror

An Italian village situated in deep valleys was not receiving sunlight for three months in a year due to the Alps mountains surrounding the area that blocks the natural light. In his latest TikTok video, Dr Karan Rajan, an NHS surgeon, explained how the residents of Viganella overcame the problem of not receiving sunlight for 90 days. In his video uploaded earlier this week, Rajan mentioned that the lack of sunlight meant that the villagers were experiencing falling serotonin levels, which is also known as the alertness hormone. In 2006, a sheet of steel, which measured an eight-by-five metre was placed on a nearby peak to reflect sunlight onto Viganella’s main square below, reported BBC.
