Silent witness to a hard life
*With ROBERT (his discovery)*
The dwelling is of older date, with
architectural features and furnishings that reference the mid-20th century era.
The house preserves traces of a past rural life marked by hardship and gradual decline....
It is imbued with an atmosphere of deep nostalgia, of oppressive sadness.
It breathes the past, but at the same time it is full of smell, dampness, dust and decay.
Each object tells its own story of the life that once pulsed here, of work, cares and joys.
Today the house is a testimony to a forgotten world and the transience of human existence.
For generations, the family has most likely been farming and breeding animals.
Large scales, hutches, farming tools and the remains of a barn or pigeon loft testify that the house was the centre of their economy.
People lived here in harmony with the rhythms of nature and seasonal work.
They lived very modestly, without any luxury.
The solid fuel stove, the improvised kitchen and the general condition of the house show a lack of financial resources, but at the same time a great deal of industriousness and ingenuity.
