Crotti

The Crotti (called «Crot» in Brusio, «Scelé» in Poschiavo) are round stone buildings with false vaults, which in the past were used to store food at cool, constant temperatures or, more rarely, as a kitchen or temporary accommodation.

Description

The Crotti in the district of La Costa in Brusio are typical of the construction method that was widespread throughout Valposchiavo. The origins of the Crotti are not known, but similar buildings exist in various Mediterranean areas such as Puglia, Abruzzo and Sardinia.
