The Two Mills

Mill of Caste dell'Alpe today Biondi mill. The mill with two palm groves, one of which is fixed (grinds below) and one mobile / millstones above), has carried out its honored service for over a millennium, until 1850 when the cylinder mills began to work, although slowly , supplanted palm groves, millstones and millstones of the old mills. The Mulino di castel dell'Alpe, however, had a longer life and its long-life milling lasted until about 1960 managed by the owners, the Biondi family, who now restored it to the ancient remains. The old mill of Fiumicello owned by F.lli Mengozzi. It was abandoned in 1963 after centuries of activity and the Mengozzi brothers, to which it belongs, came back every now and then to use the house, displeased every time more for the deterioration of the functioning system. They finally decided that better than nostalgia there was their technical ability and the determination to revise the water pushing the blades of the ancient turbine, With patience and commitment they rebuilt and restored all the structures and the mill, after thirty years of silence, so he started working again.
