Mulino Ianiri Don Pasquale

This is a sturdy, honest building in exposed stone, laid in regular courses, and divided into two distinct blocks. The south-west block is the more complete, still wearing its original roof of wooden trusses and curved terracotta tiles. Its neighbour to the north-east is more skeletal, dominated by a circular corner tower with a splayed rectangular gun-loop and potaie holes, the small openings used to support scaffolding, piercing every face.

Each elevation is punctuated by round-arched doorways in dressed stone; the keystone of the south-west entrance is incised with the date 1880. Inside the better-preserved block, a floor of iron and brick vaults survives, along with a fireplace and a sequence of four stone arches along the long walls. Traces of a staircase remain in the tower, and a low brick arch stands in the north-east internal wall. The south-west block is finished with a cornicione “a romanelle”, a simple brick corbel table. It is a mill, built to work, not to charm, and all the more evocative for it.
