Since the first successful nesting of bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) in the Piedmont region, which took place in the Lanzo Valleys in the province of Turin during the 2018-2019 breeding season, with the fledging of the juvenile named “Belavrì” (W288), three other juveniles fledged in the following years at the same nesting site: “Maurich” (W365), “Chateaux” (W413) and “Eolo” (W490). Thus, the number of successful breedings in this area increased to 4 from the beginning of the international reintroduction project and we note the exceptional young age of the female during the first recorded breeding (4cy).
