Protection and enhancement of rural architecture and landscape
The Farm Stable
The stable is a meaningful witness to the traditional agricultural organization of the Pietraperciata estate. Originally it housed a small number of animals (usually two to six head), intended to support the farming families who lived and worked on the estate. The animals provided essential resources such as milk, cheese and, in some cases, the chance to sell the animal once grown. Their presence was therefore an integral part of the family economy and of the estate’s productive balance.
The building retains construction features and materials typical of local rural architecture and leans against a sandstone rock formation, where a large rocky cavity is present, preserved and enhanced as a distinctive element of the place. The restoration work has made it possible to restore function and dignity to this space, preserving its historic identity and adapting it to a new cultural use.
The museum space
The stable is now used as a small museum space dedicated to rural culture and civilization. The exhibition is designed to tell:
• the traditional farming life of peasant families;
• activities linked to cultivation and livestock breeding;
• the evolution of the agricultural landscape over time.
A central aspect of the narrative concerns livestock feeding: adults and young people mowed the grass in the citrus grove fields and on the surrounding hills, carrying out natural weeding that required skill and dexterity in using the scythe. The manure produced was partly used within the estate as natural fertilizer and partly sold. Oral accounts collected from an elderly farmer recall how people from nearby villages would reach the estate with carts to buy the manure, considered one of the most effective forms of fertilization for farmland. Use of the project: The visiting experience is supported by an information panel and digital content accessible via QR code to make it easier to understand the places.
