This work examines the development of the architecture of houses in Pelio between the late 17th and the late 19th century. This rich body of original material, representative of the architectural wealth of Pelio over the years, reveals, through reconstruction drawings, the initial aspect of the buildings, often altered in the course of time. This book is useful to those who wish to distinguish the authentic from the fabricated and to understand the remarkable differences in way of life and worldview between the pre-industrial community and post-industrial society.
