About the home

The birth of “Borgo” happened approximately in XIV century. The walls made by stones, the sheds, the small windows, was necessary at that time: the pebbles found in place, were the only abundant and economic material to build; the sheds served to receive maize for the animals and the windows were small because, during the winter, the warm of the fireplace was not dispersed - In the larger house, the wide furnace guaranteed to the village’s families the bread for all the week - The small house was the old stable with the barn, also made in stone and pieces of the old one “mandolato” that allowed the air exchange to hold dry the hay during the winter. - In the years the “Borgo” had various destinations in order to satisfy the necessities - However, although those changes, the “houses” have conserved intact many of the old characteristics, and still today, in the “Borgo”, our customer can feel the peasants feelings.

After the fall of Napoleone, Lucca became Ducato Borbonico, but already in the 1847 Carl Ludovico di Borbone left the city to Leopoldo II of Lorena. From this Lucca moment it enters to make part of the Tuscany.

Lucca is between the little Italian cities that have conserved intact the own one circle of wall. The first town-walls laughed them to the Roman age; of it they remain least traces, the greater part of which turns out incorporated in the Church of Saint Maria of the Rose - a second one circle will come realized between the XI and XIII the century. - The last one circle of walls was motivated military requirements. Lucca rung from the expansionist sights of Extensive Florence and the Ducato, had need of emergency and independence. In the 1544 they began the jobs for the new walls that they will only finish to the half of the 1600's. - It walls high 12 meters, are formed from eleven curtains, ten bastions and one platform, that one of Saint Frediano.
