"20 years abandoned, today, it’s our home" (Stories from the Cascina)

Video Description

For twenty years, the old farmhouse stood silent. Its shutters faded, its vineyards wild, its meadows left to the wind. No footsteps echoed through its rooms, no voices, no light, only time. Then one day, a couple ( @storiesfromthecascina ) ries arrived in the hills of Piemonte. They didn’t come with certainty or wealth, but with a dream: to revive a forgotten place and build a life rooted in nature, creativity, and simplicity. This video follows their first years of breathing life back into the abandoned cascina, a property with 16.5 hectares of forests, meadows, and ancient stories carved into stone. As they explore its secrets, they uncover old wine cellars, antique tools, a centuries-old chapel, and rooms that seem to whisper memories of those who lived here before. Viewers will discover: 🌿 How they restored the farmhouse without a mortgage, using what the land offered 🪵 The way they heat their home with deadwood from their own forest 🛠️ Their evolving workshop, built from reclaimed materials found on the property 💧 A new rainwater harvesting system designed to support their no-dig vegetable garden 🌱 Their journey toward self-sufficiency through polyculture and regenerative gardening 🏚️ The hidden “Infernotto”, the old wine press, and forgotten agricultural relics 🎥 How storytelling, creativity, and their YouTube channel became their main livelihood Their life is not a finished project, it’s a living story.
