Qui sono nato.
Qui ritornero'.
Ma come un aquilone
ho attraversato il Serrapotamo,
la Camastra, il Basento.
Come un aquilone
ho attraversato gli Alburni, il Tanagro,
il Sele, gli acquedotti, il Tevere.
Come un aquilone
sono passato sull' Appennino,
la valle dei padani, il Brennero.
E al mattino, simile
a un aquilone dal filo
infinito, ho sorvolato l' Europa,
azzurra come il Vulturino.
(Laurenzana, di Michele Parrella)
The idea about starting this small Bed & Breakfast originates from desire and pleasure of giving to people visiting our fascinating valley a foretaste about our traditions and culture.
All things our grandparents left have been restored in order to regain their old and natural function, constituting our Bed & Breakfast furniture.
All typical things and tools coming from our recent past have been polished, arranged and exoposed. Two steps represent a border line between the present and the past: just going up this little stairs you can enter our ''museum room''. Here you' ll find tools utilized in old professions and a lot of ornaments from the last century.
The foretaste of our culture is not only a metaphor! Most of our breakfast products are made by local firms in a ''Km0'' perspective.
It should be clear that is not our intention to be a hotel, neither to supply a perfect 4 stars service. Our aim is to donate guests a ''business card'' about what they can find walking through our amazing region.
