Deluxe Room “Liccio”

“Liccio” (Heddle): is the largest room (25 sqm) of La Filanda, whose name recalls the weaving. The heddle, in fact, is part of the looms and serves to the movement of the threads in the warp. The room has a beautiful pavilion vault with small red bricks left exposed after the restructuring.

Room services: air conditioning, independent heating system, fridge, safe-deposit box, flat screen tv, wardrobe, desk, bathroom with shower, bidet, hair drier, laundry, free bath products.

Free WiFi available in every room.

It dates back to World War I and was built with materials and technology typically Anglo-Saxon. Quadruple room with iron and wood furniture and a canopy bed, inspired to the project of the architects Francesca Borgia, Pierluigi Barile, Giampiero Sanguigni and Anita Maria Cinthia Sala of Studio MilkTrain in Rome, arrived second in the Concorso di Idee.

“There are many ways to communicate with the past” explain the architects, “and each one of them try to emphasize the specific character of the “before”: the tradition, the patina of time, memory, the value of technical and past cultures.

“When working physically in a context where history has left deep traces, is easy to fall into the temptation of repeating themselves, to simulate what no longer exists, although the project strongly look for the change of use and try to insert activities and lifestyles different from the original ones: from silkworm breeding to an holiday spot, an interesting challenge.

“In these conditions we felt it more appropriate to work on an evocative level, which allows to make the history of the location visible through a scenario of “minimal and silent” furniture that do not conceal but, on the contrary, leave the space appear through themselves.

A project of a brave and almost extreme minimalism, the minimalism of shape and matter that allows, for once, the frenzy of the contemporary world gives way to the past.”

On the bottom of the canopy bed, the head has been designed and built by reinterpreting the ancient “lizzi” – the dialect for the Italian heddles – hence the name of the room.
