Teaching yards in Piedmont, The transmission and learning of the traditional building knowledge through the recovery of the rural stone heritage of the cultural landscape of The Langhe

The recovery of the ciabot Lumassin is the result of work carried out in 2018 within the Banca del Fare project. The ciabot is a rural Piedmont building built without workers and stemming from the farmer’s need to be supported while working in the fields. It is a material heritage that manifests the close relationship whit the intangible component: the oral transmission of the buildings culture of the Langhe territory and its traditional savoir faire. The building was recovered through didactic workshops whit the help of local craftsmen and building testimonies were transcribed in order to hand them down to future generation s. The final objective of the project is to reintroduce the ciabot within a broader project: the ciabot d’Alta langa, the first hotel in the way.
