Edilizia povera

On Saturday, June 20 at 6:00 p.m. at the Multimedia Room of the Quattro Sass Bookstore, Dino Pellegrinotti presents the book "Poor Construction. Materials, Types and Construction Details of Belluno Tradition." The volume is dedicated to traditional construction techniques, often considered “poor,” of a territory, that of Belluno, which requires much sacrifice and effort, but is also capable of offering opportunities to those who know how to seize them.

 It is not just a technical manual accompanied by images and descriptions, but an authentic journey into the memory of Belluno's construction, in its skilled gestures, in local materials, in the architectural solutions born from the dialogue between man and environment. From the preparation of materials to types of constructions, from foundation works to masonry to various types of ceilings, stairs, and roofing. The volume also includes a glossary of dialect terms related to the world of local construction.

An essential book, capable of preserving the constructive knowledge of the past to pass it on to new generations so that they may keep its memory and originality alive.
