“Bedroom with the fireplace”, historically was the first room people entered after climbing the external stairs, which is typical for Abruzzian homes. Located on the second floor of the house, the current room used to serve as the kitchen and had a huge fireplace, which was used not only to warm the house up, but also to cook. This place was the main center of the social life at home, like a magnet attracting both guests and house residents. Today, both the kitchen and the fireplace have received a new life. The kitchen was renovated into a grand bedroom with the imitation of the fireplace. The old concrete sink shelters flowers in the garden. And details of the original fireplace have been incorporated into the new one, which was moved to a living room.
