Maison Ville Nouveau by Tommaso Rada

“Like every vessel on rough seas, mountains can be an unbearable incubator of feuds, envy and exclusion. But they can also be the perfect refuge for extraordinary men, people able to resist the mindless monoculture of the contemporary world.”

“La leggenda dei monti naviganti”

Paolo Rumiz

[…] Villeneuve’s citizens are mountain people: tough, reticent and supportive, who know what it means to work hard and harvest little, people who nearly always arrived from far away and have become mountain people. All now Aosta Valley people and, in one way or another, all travellers, all slightly foreign. But it doesn’t matter where you come from or how you arrived, what is important is who you are and how you live with others […]. Tommaso Rada
