"La Steccata di Sant'Ilario Baganza" is the name of the house at Via E. Damenti, 21, 43035 Sant'Ilario Baganza PR, Italia
What you see when you park your car. The large building on the left is the old "mangiatoria" or barn where horses or cattle were fed. It has been a meeting hall for the community of Felino.

The former Comune Felino meeting hall was originally a barn for the feeding of animals - a "mangiatoria." It has been fully modernized but the 2 upper floors have not been developed as of yet.
The East front door, not the legal, official entrance, but really the main entrance because of the parking access. It is heavy double insulated glass in a steel frame.
East front of the house and tower
The East front to the north of the front door.
The house and stone tower are not yet connected internally, but can be done so easily.
The stone tower dates from the 17th century, I believe. It has been totally insulated and with new double-glazed windows, but is not yet developed.
