LibraryA rich collection of books, both private and from the Pavese Foundation.
In the diffused library, books wink at guests.
Vigne di Fagnano houses a collection of books from owners’ private library, some volumes made available by the Pavese Foundation, and some rare books from the Anfossi family, the previous historical owners of the Estate.
Books are not a “substitute” for a television, nor a mere furnishing element: reading the pages is a way of spending time in a constructive way coherent with the soul of the places, where time passes nicely and slowly.
Choose the one that most inspires you to enrich your stay– a table book, a comic, a fiction, or “dive into the past” with a magazine that has been on the estate for over a century and which opens a window onto our history. There are classics from Ovidio, enticing comics from Milo Manara, erotic table books… Whatever your choice the literary memory be an important part of your stay at Vigne di Fagnano.
"I believed for a long time that this town, where I was born, was the whole world. Now that I have truly seen the world and I know that it is made up of many small villages, I don't know if I was very wrong as a boy."
Books, touchable pages, are doors to boundless journeys.
From the material (leather covers, shiny or time-worn pages), to the daydream: the attentive reader can travel through time and space of past or imaginary worlds, letting themselves be guided by the selection of Carlo and Manila.
Furthermore, thanks to the collaboration with the Pavese Foundation fondazionecesarepavese.it Vigne di Fagnano spreads the works and ideas of this visionary writer and poet, linked to Santo Stefano Belbo and this territory by birth and by affective choice.
“Knowing how to preserve things is no less a quality than what is required to put them together.” Ovid
The pages offer a way to delve deeper into the soul of places.
Flicking through the many pages at Vigne di Fagnano is a way of spending time in a constructive way and is more consistent with the soul of the place, where time passes slowly and invites reflection.
“Every reading is an act of resistance. Of resistance to what? To all contingencies.” Daniel Pennac
