Cesare Battisti & Don Bosco is a four-floor historic building in Isnello, which was substantially renovated starting in 2020. The property has been restored with care and restraint, using local artisans and traditional materials. With only modest improvements remaining, it'll be an ideal space to welcome visitors and artists.

"Restoration is an act of stewardship and belief. Each home we bring back to life protects the character of the village, supports the people who keep its traditions alive, and proves that thoughtful investment can strengthen a place without changing what makes it special."
