“Protection and enhancement of rural architecture and landscape”
Specchio, Municipality of Solignano (PR) Client: Luca Sichel Turco Farm, VAT number 03950900617
Introduction
In a place rich in history, we propose the enhancement of the surrounding area and the restoration of some accessory buildings, now in disuse, serving an ancient manor house with stately features, allocating the spaces themselves to environmental and naturalistic education. Territorial context Buildings located in the small hilltop village of Specchio in the Municipality of Solignano (PR)
Historical background The complex of buildings in question, on the edge of the small village, is surrounded by greenery and includes service buildings and a large surrounding area. It stands on the top of a slope that gently descends to the Ceno stream below. The main residential building has three floors plus a basement and is constructed of solid stone masonry. Until the end of the 1900s, it was the main residence of the Ruffini family, landowners in the area, and its main architectural features have been preserved intact.
