Case Cusanelli

Case Cusanelli is a rural aggregate, a cluster of buildings that grew together over time into a rectangular or scattered formation. These are working structures, two storeys high on average, built of exposed stone masonry under twin-pitched roofs of terracotta tiles. The floors and roof frames are timber. Some of the buildings preserve external stone staircases, rising over the characteristic arcaded loggias of the region. The ground floors were stables and storerooms; the upper level, the living quarters. It is a straightforward, functional arrangement: animals and gear below, people above. The place has the quiet, weathered pragmatism of a farmstead that was never designed for show, only for use. The materials are local, the forms are traditional, and nothing is wasted. It tells its story without fuss, in stone and wood and tile.
