Imagined and drawn for people, being so mirrors of their personalities, tastes and memoires, Houses are the meeting-point between Man, Art and Nature. Therefore, the tremendous responsibility of Architecture: of those who make it and those who uses it.

But, as one bad thing never comes alone, the daily lives of the inhabitants of this small mountain village are changed by the death of Adriano.
