tuscany country house in Mugello
Comignano country-house Comignano country house was in ‘800 and in ‘900 a wonderful agricultural farm that produced fruits for the whole Mugello valley. It was built, in late 1700, with a functional project: to build it at the bottom of a natural basin. The reason for this was to let carts, loaded with agricultural products, reach the house going downhill, with less effort for men and animals. The farm building, following customs of the period, was started after a meticulous watching of the place by masons who were used to choosing the best place to build, through careful thought, after having slept there some nights in winter and summer. Territorial plentiful waters are free from any contamination and reach the country house by a spring and an artesian well. The water coming from the well has beneficial diuretic effects, coming directly from the taps to drink. Following farmer’s customs, there is also a rainwater harvesting of 20.000 liters. In uncultivated areas you can find, amidst the natural vegetation, ancient fruit trees that bear record to times when those places were intensively cultivated. You can find them along the stream Lora that marks the boundary of what remains of a big farm that in the beginning of 1900 extended for hundreds of hectares. During the second half of 1900, the abandonment of agricultural work towards industry, led to the degradation of this agricultural land. At the end of the second world war, in 1943 the house was blasted leaving intact the only loft that has now been recovered and restructured. The blasted house was rebuilt in the same place but with a new and different shape and in the ’50s lodged a rural school in part of it. It has been lived in by farmers until 1980 and then put on sale in the ’90s when we bought it. The abandonment of agriculture and the consequent absence of chemical treatments, has helped the preservation of rich and full fauna environment, as much as the presence of insects that are their food source. Now we use part of the arable land as orchard, part as kitchen garden, but the most part is left on loan to the neighbouring sheep breeding (that you can also reach afoot, pictures on the slide show) where you can buy very good cheese and fresh ricotta, made by sheep’s milk grazing under your eyes. L'ospite ha un ampio spazio dedicato ed esclusivo ma è libero di muoversi per l'intera proprietà di circa 10 ettari L'ospite mi può convocare per qualsiasi problema incontri durante la sua permanenza. La casa è collocata in una valle ad anfiteatro ai bordi del bosco di proprietà. Non esiste inquinamento acustico, elettromagnetico, luminoso, chimico e radioattivo artificiale (è disponibile un contatore geiger a registrazione continua per la verifica ). In particolare l'intera valle non è oggetto di trattamenti delle colture con sostanze chimiche ad uso agricolo (antiparassitari ed altri fitofarmaci e concimi chimici) Si tratta di una casa di campagna ricostruita nel 1946 sulle macerie della precedente brillata nel 1943 (linea gotica). Le modalità di costruzione sono quelle degli edifici rustici toscani del periodo (pietra e legname e laterizio sul tetto) e tutto intorno all'edifico il terreno è erboso (giardino) o a ghiaia e non cementificato. Pur in presenza di una contro-soffittatura in legname e cotto un certo grado di polverosità è difficilmente eliminabile e ciò può rappresentare un problema per soggetti atopici (in particolare allergici agli acari della polvere). L'assenza di trattamenti chimici in tutto il territorio, inoltre, ha determinato l'istituirsi di una sorta di oasi biologica con aspetti favorevoli per la presenza di una fauna ricca e variata (uccelli in particolare) ma al tempo stesso la presenza di insetti nell'ambiente esterno che possono essere sgraditi. E' bene che l'ospite tenga conto di queste notizie e sappia che non va a soggiornare in una residenza urbana ma (pro e contro) in un'area rurale e boschiva.
