Visit to Serre in Val Maira We are delighted to have finally made the acquaintance of Bepi, a new AmicoBioniere known on the web
, which we visited in that snowy weekend in Serre, a small medieval town that boasts 4 residents of the peaceful Val Maira Maritime Alps in the province of Cuneo.
Along with a group of friends wants to repopulate Bepi this picturesque village, on the model of modern eco-villages and therefore particularly respect to ecology.
Self-sufficiency is one of the objectives that the group wants to achieve, in fact, already have a small vegetable garden with greenhouse and in the spring will be joined by a larger one, will be planted fruit trees suited to the climate and altitude and with regard to Bakers have a great old original stone oven.
Two hairy horses, and Obelix Blondie, already used for the handling of the material from the road to the houses, will help to arartura soil and other works.
In the first year's work started the recovery of housing, re-roofing, replacement of beams slabs, floors and interior masonry work.
In their draft also includes a small hostel to accommodate those who decide to spend some time in Serre par.
We certainly among those that we want to spend a few weeks.
One of the main projects will be the carpenter's workshop, in fact behind the house are required to operate an old circular saw for cutting boards from logs.
Starting from an old trunk that had by Bepi has made some good dishes from the table, flooding of fragrant wood chips that were fired for flying around the laboratory while returning.
There will also be a weaving workshop which will see the use of an old wooden frame restored by the same Bepi.
short, the people are great, the will and the ideas are not lacking, and we are confident that their dream in this short time, perhaps shared by others who wish to join Bionieri will be realized.
