Tenuta Ciaiali is a landmark of that rural memory which is typical of this regional landscape, forgotten or set aside for decades and today rediscovered; an asset to be considered a living testimony of lifestyle and economic activities that were central to human settlements in these territories.
Thanks to the opportunity provided by the PROTEZIONE e Valorizzazione dell’Architettura e del Paesaggio Rurale (PNRR M1C3, Intervento 2.2) tender, it was possible to address the recovery through an intervention whose goal was to implement actions substantially attributable to conservative recovery, both of the rural property and the relevant court.
The estate, as regards the dry stone walls containing the terraces scattered in the external surroundings, is subject to UNESCO recognition.
In the framework of the ancient pastoral vocation of the site, some significant components of the “peasant” building structure emerge: a water supply cistern, a fireplace, an oven, as well as a carved stone that defines the period of construction of the building.
On the outside, the true value of the whole estate is made up of a dense network of dry wall structures to compose and support the terraces built to manage the slope. These works, which have been restored with the original ashlars found on site, have an undisputed historical/cultural value and are referable to the UNESCO tangible heritage definition.
Take a leap in time and come and visit a place that is a symbol of true Italian rural life.
