Grotte del Caglieron

They chase the silence of the dark looking for emptiness. They dig the spaces to seek peace in a moment when, it seems, they have thought to stop. Then they fall into the race, inevitably, following a direction, from west to east and finally deviate to the south; they will end up in the plain, in the Carron stream. Meanwhile they dig, looking for the perfect place to hide a surreal world, between the light of day and the night of the caves. A rock universe to be created over millions of years due to river erosion, karst processes, calcite encrustations … This way, the waters of the Caglieron stream crossed the rocky gates of the Costa di Fregona, digging a gorge, a water gap, to slip in and create their own fantastic world, locked for a stretch by meters of travertine encrustations and recently extended by man’s excavation. They are the playroom of the waters before ending up on the plain. They are the “Grotte del Caglieron”.

La Foresta Scritta

The current research was born from a teamwork that lasted for years, edited mainly by Pietro Fain, Mario Cosmo, Franco Dal Cin, Franco Bastianon, with individually indicated collaborations, both for field research and for the research activities in the archives.

“This is the anastatic reprint of the 2013 edition with only a few corrections not to the text but to the” bureaucratic “incipit due to various events that occurred meanwhile. The Pro Loco of Fregona, in accordance with the authors, has decided this initiative to satisfy the frequent requests about the book that are still coming seven years after its publication, decreeing a success higher than expected by the authors at the time. I hope this will contribute to new studies and to a more respectful and aware tourism in Cansiglio”

Francesca Bertolin, President of Pro Loco Fregona

“On behalf of all the authors, I thank the Pro Loco of Fregona for this action. In the meantime, other terms have been discovered and the authors have deepened their research, therefore a new edition would probably be a quite different book, but for this we have time, in the meanwhile we suggest this faithful reproduction of the first edition to further spread the knowledge of the naturalistic and historical jewel that is the Cansiglio wood”

Castello di Piai

As if, actually, man could not preserve an equanimity, if time, that everything steals, wasn’t forced by the power of history to give back what he has stolen”
“ …, this publishing contributes to renew the historical and social memory of our community, to raise awareness, especially to the younger generations about that segment of history characterized by the presence of the powerful Da Camino family in Fregona and specifically the ruins that testify it…”

Laura Buso, ex mayor of Fregona

“…To facilitate the understanding of what remains on the site, we decided to create this book, entrusting the writing to an experienced hand…”

Il Cansiglio – dal 1548 al 1699

“Which (flat) is called the Cansiglio, here you can see a lawn similar to a theatre, two thousand in length on each side, so vague for the multitude of trees, that there is no certain equal inequality surrounding them, which seems to be been more quickly situated by art than produced by nature”

Tamiseri e Scatoleri Cimbri in Cansiglio nell’800

…”Tamiseri and Scatoleri” is clearly indicative of a different research as it examines, through the documents, the relations connected to the handicraft activity, because they were not woodmen, but real small family-run companies. Each member of the family had…”

Legno e pietra

If “words are stones”, may the opposite also be true? Can stones be translated into words and tell us lives and traditions as if they were tombstones, totems, epitaphs, or historical graffiti? The language of stones is not, or at least not only, an ethnographic, cultural and architectural fact. It is primarily a message of the heart, which invests the depth of emotions and shakes arcane harmonies and ancestral shadows of memory. The stones exude labours, wars, projects and their now collapsed piles commemorate the ineffable human adventure. And so, right through these stones, are born the agricultural buildings that adorn our territory and to which this book wants to be a humble homage.

I nomi di luogo di Fregona

“In this research are investigated the toponyms of Fregona, a municipality that provides widespread marginal areas that haven’t undergone any disruption or any significant settlement change, except for the areas near the villages and for the quarries of Pizzoc, Jere and Ciser which has violated the cliffs of great landscape value, leaving you … ”

Pier Franco Uliana

“Recurrent are the earth and the human activity who respects it, the union with nature, respect and the reciprocity that unites them. As well as is our dialect which characterizes the vast majority of these place names which sometimes, with just the sound, sends us and makes us understand the value of this connection”

Il cammino di Verde

The novel is about the life of Rizzardo VI, the last of the Da Camino di Sopra family with whom the dynasty became extinct, and of his beloved wife Verde della Scala. We are at the beginning of the fourteenth century. Thanks to a meticulous work, almost maniacal, of historical research based on the consulting of original documents and sources, the author has the great merit of having illuminated an important period in the local history of the Middle Ages.

Il Cansiglio - dal 1700 al 1797 -

The Cansiglio, also known as the Alpago Forest in the Belluno district, is considered one of the largest and most beautiful forests in Italy.
The author reconstructs the history in the last years of the Serenissima's rule, which made Cansiglio one of the main sources of timber, applying control policies that could be considered avant-garde for those times.

The significance of the 'Pieve,' which in the past boasted a jurisdiction much broader than today, is attested by a living tradition of faith and also by the works of art and precious furnishings it jealously preserves."
