Description

VERGATO (Bologna). I could not believe it. When Fabiana called me and told me to look online to see her splendid house, I did not believe my eyes!
I had no idea that in the Bolognese Apennines there were houses of this almost Provencal beauty.
Or rather, in the area there are many beautiful and well-novated houses, but a renovation of this kind I have not yet seen it.
So much so that after two days I was already there to see her in person.
Getting to us from my house you have to cross the Apennines a bit, but from Bologna it is very close, just 30 km: you can reach Vergato also by train if you want, and then it is only 10 minutes by car (about 6 km).
I leave the paved road on an dirt road that reminds me so much of Tuscany. After not even 100 meters, there is a parking space on the right and on the left a wooden gate that borders the house, but not the property.
Here there is an incredible silence, you can only hear the rustle of the leaves in the wind.
I look around, the sky is clear and the vegetation is luxuriant and green.
Then I open the gate and I'm going inside.
Immediately the black horse of Fabiana grazing in the curious left field, runs to see who has arrived.
Immediately after I hear the 5 chihuahua of Fabiana that reach me barking curious and eager of some carezza.
The house is right there, 100 meters away, I follow the walkway flanking the large ancient chestnut trees and I reach the building or better to the buildings.
On the ground only the green grass, furnished just by the sign of some rare passage of vehicles.
I was telling you exactly that there are three buildings: the first, on the right, is very pretty and from the street appears a mountain hut, surrounded by a grass carpet ... You know those low huts with the sloping roof found in the Tagliole di Pievepelago and Fiumalbo or in the Alps. This gable here is partly furnished and used as a living room, partly to be fixed. The roof is new.
I continue my green and to the right path, hidden by a huge rose, there is the ground floor of the gable which on this side appears to be a beautiful building on two floors today used as a tool shed that was once the chestnut drip.
On the left, always hidden by another imposing rose, there is the building once used as a barn and barn. It is splendid, on two levels, with a magnificent internal colonnade and ancient fish spin vaulted brick ceilings. Here the imagination takes the flight ... what could be realized inside? I have some ideas; -)
But I'm taking the story back.
I approach the house, leaving the ancient chestnut trees behind me, and Fabiana comes to meet me smiling. We salute each other and leads me to his home, which also houses his small B&B.
We sit in the garden, around a table in the shade of the fig tree, and she starts to tell me the story of his house.
Around us, a luxuriant garden of flowers, aromatic herbs and ornamental plants, plus a there fields and then forests ...
She tells me that, when she purchased the house, she was in disastrous condition, abandoned for decades and clueless with objects and old furnishings, with internal walls covered with yellow wood beads.
"Pensa, Lucia," she tells me, "when we removed those horrible beads, we found out the treasure. Smile. For "treasure" she means an enchanting structure, with niches and architects that still tell their history today. "I have preserved all these details and tried to fully enhance them.
And that's really true.
We stand up and uncomfortable the cat that smiles sleeps right on the doorstep of the door and we enter. As soon as the threshold is crossed, there is a considerable change of brightness from the outside to the inside; remaining two steps and I am immediately surrounded by the fresco that the imposing stone walls offer during the summer ....
I can't and I don't want to describe every corner of the house, the photos speak for themselves, but I'm interested in emphasising how Fabiana has wisely managed to combine this "treasure" of enchanting ancient details with designer furniture pieces, designer pieces and objects characteristic of workshops and craft shops.
It's just fantastic!
On the other hand, this house has been the protagonist of a service on the AD magazine.
