Banca del Fare is a project born in 2016 from an idea by Laura Sottovia with technical and educational input from Studio Ellisse Architetti with the aim of recovering the vernacular architectural heritage of Alta Langa, addressing the abandonment and degradation of the built landscape in a concrete way.

The transmission of knowledge, traditional building techniques and self-construction and design activities is done through the "learning by doing" method, bringing artisans and students together in a schoolyard mode to recompose that unnatural caesura between hand and mind that is increasinglỳ deep in the Italian education system.
