Small demolitions in Carviano

Recently I found myself using mallet and chisel to break down small portions of stone farmhouses, such as walls or doors, to find out what was behind.

Working with old abandoned buildings it often happens  to come across walled openings, locked windows or barred gates that prevent you from seeing beyond.

We are used to thinking of demolitions as opposed to construction, as if it only meant irreversible destruction, while in reality sometimes demolishing is nothing but the first step towards reconstruction, for a new beginning, a new history.

It’s exactly what happened in the case of Carviano, where breaking down little portions of brick walls  has allowed us to make our way through the rooms of a small stone house, to be spectators of a frozen scene and to bring back air into spaces that will soon again begin to live.
