1. Reviving Vasca – A Place to Cool Down

In 2019, together with friends and volunteers, we decided to bring new life to a forgotten water reservoir in Trastanello known as vasca. Decades ago, it served local villagers as a place to wash clothes, but over time, it had been abandoned and slowly filled with mud.

The first step was simple in idea but demanding in reality: empty it completely. Bucket by bucket, we removed layers of sediment until the original structure revealed itself again. Once cleaned and repaired, we allowed the water to return naturally.

What emerged was more than just a restored reservoir. Vasca became a place of gathering, especially during hot summer days. Surrounded by stone and greenery, it now offers a simple but deeply satisfying way to cool down.

It’s not a swimming pool—it’s something more authentic. A small, shared space where effort, history, and nature meet, and where the village can once again pause, refresh, and connect.
