[edit] Geography
Ampriani is 16 km (10 mi) to the southwest of Moïta in a sunny vale of the Valley of the Cursigliese, in the ancient parish of Serra: consisting of a single row of houses on an outcrop, the village is nearly deserted in winter, but has about a hundred people in summer; there are ruins of an ancient monastery of Saint-François.
