In questo luogo, si parla con le
pietre e il tempo, senza voce.
E sa più di terra che di uomini;
terra grigia di stoppie, bruna di
solchi aperti, mossa dal granturco
verde, accoglie e sostiene la
casa, i muri, la torre.
Nella casa si accende il fuoco, e
le figure vive ne adombrano altre
lontane, calde tuttavia,
protettrici.
Si parla con le pietre e il tempo,
senza voce, in questo luogo.
Novella Cantarutti
The Friulian poet and intellectual, Novella Cantarutti was one of the first intellectuals to
discover Bergum. It hovers in a majestic isolation and appears almost by surprise,
between the vast plains and the rugged foothills overlooking Faedis.
This is a quaint and slightly wild corner of Friuli, that preserves almost intact its rural
origin. It is surrounded by the Soffumbergo, Zucco, Cucagna and Attimis castles, remnants of
the ancient feudal tradition of the area.
The Bergum fortress represents a rare example of fortified rural architecture in Friuli:
an ancient “castrum” which to this day preserves its ancient walls, its imposing defensive
tower and its gracious “domus”
After long and laborious renovation, today Bergum is alive with activity and is home to the
farm that cultivates the surrounding fields, the Golf Training Club, the “Casaforte di Bergum”
and a very original country inn:
The “travellers” are welcomed in the ancient “domus”, or the “Casetta” (little house) so
called not because of its size but because of the warm and welcoming atmosphere that permeates
it and the Fourteenth Century “Tower”. Both buildings are independent.
