As every medieval village, placed on the hill, the heart of the settlement was the “castrum romanum” (the ancient roman camp), the wall and the towers made of stone.




Ancient domestic tools.

HES
AND VAULTS
“…ripidissime scale incavate nella collina, passaARCggi da orti, sentieri incisi, …, tetti su tetti, cantine;…… tra mura e mura, semibuio di giorno, di notte tenebra.”
Mario Tobino

During medieval time, the lord of our village checked the river fords and the tracks, on which they impose the payment of a toll.
