This rural house was rebuilt after the disastrous earthquake of 1976, respecting the traditional lines of the Friulian courts. The earthquake did not prevent the Fabbro family, present in this place since the 19th century, from living it in continuity with traditions; he did not ignore them, but continued with dignity the agricultural activity and the ancient carpentry skills of his ancestors.
The “cjase di Gjelmo da Gea” breathes the efforts of Luciana and Rino, who miraculously escaped the earthquake; the eighteenth-century well – a common water source – preserves the voices of the numerous children who lived in these spaces, reduced and then extinguished by emigration.
We want to share these spaces, full of books and objects from the family trades, not with tourists, but with travellers, because “travel” and “book” have the same nature.
“The world is a book, and he who does not travel knows only one page” (Saint Augustine)
