casa, a schiera

In a narrow street, this rectangular building rises three storeys, its two lower floors connected by an internal staircase, while the top level has its own separate entrance from Via Nazaret. The load-bearing walls are of plastered stone masonry, built in the a sacco technique, a double skin of stonework filled with rubble, typical of vernacular Italian construction.

The main facade is distinguished by a projecting structure spanning two floors, culminating in a small loggia with three stone arches, now sheltered by a sheet-metal roof. The pitched roof above completes the form. Such case a schiera, terrace houses built in rows, were once a common urban solution for housing in Italian towns, providing efficient, linear accommodation within a constrained street frontage. This example, with its pragmatic mix of local stone and later metalwork, quietly records the evolution of a working building across centuries of use and adaptation.
