Magical Borgo Bazzano

The village of Bazzano was the first settlement of the Piceni in the upper Macerata area where there are certain historical traces. The construction of the village can be dated around the end of the 13th century. The stone used to build the buildings, a wonderful very white limestone, comes from the same quarry, which no longer exists today, which, a couple of centuries later, it was used for the construction of the fabulous Sanctuary of Macereto (Visso). In fact, the two buildings are just over 4km apart as the crow flies. Another building of great value located a short distance from the village is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Casoriano, the third and last building for which that was used stone. The architectural peculiarity of the Borgo is that of presenting, within the wall boxes that delimit the various buildings, a game of staggered mezzanines that reaches the number of three per single housing unit.Furthermore, the real estate portion upstream and downstream of the village are located in communication from a building body that acts as a bridge. Almost all environments they are communicating since in the past, and according to the traditions of rural families who lived in the village, we tried to light a few fireplaces in the various homes in order to save wood, the fact that many rooms were communicating made the homogeneous diffusion of heat possible.A small consecrated church is present inside the village, this is permitted use, even private, in mutual agreement with the local Curia. The valley on which the village rests, at about 600 meters above sea levelsea, is rich in the native flora and fauna of the upper Macerata area, the lands surrounding areas are well worked with rotations of organic crops such as cereals, grasses and pasture meadows. One of the most valuable characteristics of the Borgo is that of being in one sort of space-time suspension: the complete absence of any artefact modern in the surroundings, the silence accompanied exclusively by the sounds of nature, make Bazzano an inimitable jewel, one of a kind, where spirituality, harmony and peace reign supreme. The village has been the subject of multiple conservative restorations starting from the 70s up to about a decade ago. These interventions, which allowed the survival of the Borgo to date, have mostly consisted of the consolidation of boxes walls, in the restoration of some floors, and in the partial internal and external finishing of the straightening of the visible face. Without these interventions probably today of The village would remain nothing but a pile of rubble. There are underground drinking water and electricity services. There is also a private water sub-service that allows you to withdraw water spontaneous or rainwater that accumulates downstream and transport it to the center of the village. The properties are in their raw state, therefore there are no active services or services consequently the certificate of habitability for some of the buildings.
