LITERARY COFFEE
Following the principle of mixing at the base of the project, we envisaged a literary café as a meeting place between culture and food and wine; in the ancient church, now deconsecrated, an original remnant of the fourteenth century, there will be a small library communicating with the literary café on the ground floor and the rooms on the first floor.

An alternative symbol of aggregation.
The small church has come down to us completely depersonalized. The invasive restructuring of the last century and the subsequent acts of vandalism that the castle suffered in the years of its abandonment have deprived it of its original characteristics. Without door, holy water stoup, altar, with the frescoes almost completely covered or destroyed, the accesses to the sacristy are walled up. An empty room, with whitewashed walls and a floor covered with more modern bricks at the ancient altar.
Given the unavailability of the original brick of the floor, it was decided to occupy that space with a fireplace, as an alternative symbol of aggregation. To the right of the fireplace, access to the old sacristy has been restored, which today leads to the literary café.
EMPORIO
A small emporium will rise in the center of the large square. A boutique where you can buy aromatic herbs, spices, chocolate, handcrafted creams and soaps, wines, oil, liqueurs and perfumes, all produced by local and regional companies. It will also serve as a direct sales point for the castle's products.

OVEN
The idea of including a small oven in the project came from a thought. The "places" we visit in our memories are always linked to images, or sounds. However, it is much less common to remember a specific smell related to a place.
We wanted to give this place a smell. A smell capable of recalling the time spent within the walls of the castle of Morgnano. Something ancient, atavistic, easily recognizable in every place in the world. The smell of freshly baked bread.

RELAX
A small wellness center will be built on the ground floor where guests can enjoy traditional massages, whirlpools, saunas and themed treatments. The restaurant will also have at its disposal a portion of the external courtyard overlooking the botanical garden set up as a relaxation area, which will be equipped with structures that will allow it to be used in any season.

SPEAKEASY
On the upper floors of the castle, surrounded by towers, the room opens onto an internal loggia and two communicating terraces through the walkway on the walls. The room will be designed to perform multiple functions throughout the day depending on the time. During the day, brunches and aperitifs will be organized. It will also occasionally host private and public events.
