“A o
soâ” is an old name for
the spot where the house
was built and means "the
place in the sun". It is
situated in the peaceful
old village of Savignone,
500 metres above sea
level, but just 20 km
from the city of Genoa.
It is the perfect choice
for a quiet stay in the
beautiful Ligurian hills.
The house has ancient
origins: over the
centuries it has been
transformed from a
stable and barn for
drying chestnuts into a
very comfortable and
charming country home.
The restoration has been
carried out with
impeccable taste and has
been influenced by the
travels and artistic
experiences of its
owners.
Andrea and Claudia Crosa
di Vergagni, both of
whom were born in Buenos
Aires and studied
Architecture there, went
back to Italy to take up
their inheritance as
descendants of the
historic Fieschi family.
Andrea, highly-regarded
avant-garde artist
(www.andreacrosa.com)...and
impressive cook, has
always chosen to live
away form the bustle of
the city. He and his
wife share many
interests and
enthusiasms - a great
love for animals - a
passion for vintage cars,
excellent vegetarian
food, good wine and, of
course, art and culture
in general.
