Description
Dimore of the sixteenth century in the historic center
Majestic and magnificently inserted next to the castle in the context of the medieval square of the Bormida monastery, Palazzo Capitelli, aristocratic residence belonging to the Della Rovere family, immediately shows the charm of crossing the front door. The stone staircase leads to the first floor where a very bright hallway overlooks a balcony and the internal garden. On the floor there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms, one of which is en suite in the master bedroom and one with a large Jacuzzi. In two bedrooms there is a ceiling with cruise vaults decorated with splendidly recovered and restored frescoes. In another there is a wood-burning fireplace; the original Piedmontese terracotta floors and marble grit and the exposed beams in the remaining bedrooms give a touch of charm to the sleeping area. In this floor there are connections to create a kitchen that would turn the whole floor into an independent unit. Going up to the second floor through a comfortable stone staircase there is access to the right to a large living room with fireplace. The walls and the ceiling are frescoed and the two windows overlook the Piazza del Castello with a view of the Parish of Santa Giulia; from the living room you switch to an elegant study that overlooks a side on a small room for card play and on the other to the large very bright dining room; from here you can switch to the kitchen with large windows and a central island. The floor includes two bathrooms, a very bright hallway sitting room, a laundry room and an outdoor terrace which is accessed both from the kitchen and from the sitting room. The renovation (except for the ground floor with its stone cellars) was completed in 2020, and was carried out respecting the authentic features of the noble building, maintaining the original floors, restoring the internal doors and fine furniture but with the total reconstruction of the bathrooms, electrical and plumbing systems, the roof and the external façade. The ground floor of about 250 square meters. and with six entrances overlooking Piazza del castello, has fine structural elements such as the double vaulted cruising ceilings and a charming cloister where there is also an ancient artesian well.
The village of Monastery Bormida developed around the year a thousand around the monastery founded by the Benedictine monks called by the Marquis of Aleramo to disengage and sow the land devastated by the Saracens. Its medieval history is tied to the noble houses of the Del Carretto and Della Rovere families who over the centuries turned the Benedictine monastery into a fortified Castle for the defense of the Aleramica brand's lands. Located in a strategic position in the Bormida valley owes its history of a flourishing shopping center also to the Romanesque bridge built on the Bormida river by the monks themselves around 1200. Its particularly robust structure, still perfectly preserved, allowed, unique throughout the valley, the passage over the Bormida river all year round. The nucleus of the historic center, which is spread around the Medieval Castle, demonstrates the ancient origins of the village. The eighteenth-century parlor of Santa Giulia, the patron saint of the village, overlooks the square of the castle, with the ancient river stone paving. On the square in front of the Castle every year, in spring, there is the Sagra del Polentone, famous throughout the valley, whose origins date back to more than 500 years ago. During this great popular festival the ancient medieval professions are proposed again and the participants are served the boiled polenta in a large copper pair according to an ancient tradition.
