Property Description

The Family Towards the end of the 1950s Amelia and Renzo passed through this area and fell in love with it so completely that they even convinced a farmer to sell them a small plot of land. They started work constructing what was to become a mountain house, or baita, for themselves and their children, who at the time were three: Gianmarco, Monica, and Giovanni. It was no small undertaking considering the lack of a road, water, and electricity but a little at a time, wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow, tractor after tractor, the house started to take shape.
 Their fourth child, Silvia, was born in August 1962, when they were laying the first foundation stones.  Over these years the house came to be known as Chalet Fogajard, a name that remains to this day and derives from the area in which it is located: "Fo' Gajard" in the local dialect, "Faggio Gagliardo" [the “hardy beech tree”] in Italian. In the mid 1960s their last child, Paola, was born. A private aqueduct was constructed, fed by a natural spring, and during these years Amelia and Renzo even managed to get an electrical supply to Fogajard. This was just a single weak light bulb, which went out every time there was a storm, leaving everyone in candlelight, but considering the location, even this seemed almost miraculous! At the end of the 1970s, after endless negotiations with the telephone company of the time, Chalet Fogajard was connected to the telephone network. The “house in the woods” became something of a reference point for those who passed their entire summers at Fogajard, from the valley residents with their mountain houses, to the farmers who during those years took their cows up to pasture until autumn, and even the very few adventurous tourists of the time. In the late 1980s, Paola had the idea of living permanently in the woods at Fogajard. She certainly had taken her time! She was considered crazy, or stubborn, a dreamer, but as we all know, we experience our dreams with considerably more intensity than our waking lives. So with great effort and facing endless problems, that dream became a reality. Paola, her husband Edoardo and their three children Thomas, Stefano, and Greta lived in the old Chalet until September 2010 when, with great reluctance, they began demolition of the old house in order permit a total eco-building reconstruction of Chalet Fogajard.
