Crotti

The crotti (called 'crot' in Brusio, 'scelé' in Poschiavo) are stone constructions of circular shape, with false vault, which in the past served to preserve food or, in more rare cases, served as a kitchen or even as a temporary home.

Description

The group of crotti located in La Costa in Brusio is representative of a building model widespread throughout the Valposchiavo. The origin of the crotti is unknown, similar construction forms are widespread in various Mediterranean areas, for example in Puglia, Abruzzo and Sardinia.
