Via Cavour 5

I 've got some pictures to upload & here is the first patch of our house & around it. (R) the view of the BorgoNuovo ( lower village) from the house. The kids go to school "downstairs" as Carlo calls the lower village. There are indeed stairs to walk down to the village. (L) View of the pool with Neive in the background. Note clock tower with bongs on the hours and half hours and when there is a mass and when it is garbage removal day and when it is lunch time and when someone has a caffe and when a dog takes a ...etc etc ;-)

(R) View walkin' out the front door - security gates ( Of Course). (L) walking down the drive on the start of a village walk. TBD Another post with pics from the village.

( R&L) Pics of our house at Via Cavour 5 on the Marcorino -a little hill just outside the entry of the Capolongo ( or top of the hill center) proper. Obviously NOT from the 18th century. It was built in the 50's. Carlo's grandparents Lavinio and Ada were the original owners and Carlo's mother Giovanna and her 6 siblings grew up in this house (and other houses in Neive but that is for another post.) Recently the roof was raised ~ 4 feet to make the third floor livable space with two bedroom and two baths.

Chow for now!
