Property
The "Casa in Alto" is a house of about 70 years that underwent modernization work on the envelope about thirty years ago to make the house energy-efficient: the south slope of the roof has been entirely covered with a photovoltaic system. The house also has a "passive solar system" on the south facade, which is covered with panels that capture the sun's heat and transfer it inside the home. In summer, when it is hot and heating is not needed, the panels are shaded using rolladen applied to the facade. In the living room, there is a large pine cone that heats the entire 1st floor. On the 2nd floor, at the back of the house, a winter garden has been created that warms up with the sun; the heat generated in the winter garden then spreads throughout the floor. Only in case of necessity are electric heaters activated. The ecological concept of the construction allows for maximum utilization of solar energy, limiting polluting emissions.
The house is divided as follows:
Ground floor: storage about 30 m2
1st floor: entrance about 5 m2, living room about 32 m2, kitchen about 8 m2, balcony about 3 m2
2nd floor: double bedroom (divisible) about 21 m2, small bedroom about 11 m2, winter garden about 13 m2, bathroom about 6 m2, storage room about 4 m2, balcony about 3 m2

Parcel 3019: Building 64 m2 Land 706 m2
Parcel 3020: Land 896 m2
Total 1,666 m2
