Inside Vimezzana and Cavazzone

Last weekend I found a couple of “Case Torre”  to explore.

Vimezzana  thirty minutes across some fields from  Romagnano, Carpinetti  is in an advanced state of decay. I was fascinated by the curious roof truss – a primitive portal frame where a large timber beam has been bent almost to 90°.

Cavazzone, Vezzano sul Crostolo  is a curious group of houses built in the 16th/17th century,  all built around a covered roadway which runs through a central gallery.
