A forest<\/strong> that hides a special story, an ancient ruin transformed into a welcoming country house<\/strong> and a couple ready to welcome tourists as friends: Ca ‘del Riccio Silvano<\/strong><\/a> is a perfect destination for an eco-friendly holiday, a few kilometers away from Venice<\/strong> and Treviso. We talked to Roberta Micheletto who told us about its story.<\/p>\n

Ca ‘del Riccio Silvano was born from a natural need, changing life and living in contact<\/strong> with nature<\/strong>. I worked in the tourism sector in Venice, my city of birth, and tired of that low-quality tourism I began to search with my partner for a place that was quite green, not far from Venice and accessible by public transport, considering that I don’t have a driving license (I’m really ecological!) It was not an easy search and after a year we were hopeless, but one day returning to Venice we accidentally found a property for sale, at the end of a dirt road. It was a real ruin, but there, in the woods<\/strong>, there was something beautiful<\/strong> and magical<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The forest<\/strong> that borders the country house has a very particular history. It is in fact the place where the hermit<\/strong> Ernesto Girotto, known as “A man without desires”, has spent his last forty years, of any modern technological means, living only on the products of the earth and in total solitude<\/strong>, not allowing anyone, not even family members, to cross the borders of his land. He died in 2003, when his harvest was not enough due to the drought. The hermit, portrayed by the photographer Fulvio Roiter, and his forest also inspired the documentary film Terra Madre directed by the director Ermanno Olmi.<\/p>\n
