In his memoirs, Gian Giacomo Matossi (1753-1838) – a pioneer among pastry chefs who made their fortune in major European cities with their coffees – tells us that with the first money earned in France he bought the ancient house in Via di Puntunai.
Description
However, it is her son Francesco who has given her today's appearance. In 1854, on his return from Spain, he entrusted the task of renovating the building to the architect of Vicenza Giovanni Sottovia, who in the following years would contribute to "dressing up" the entire village. In the following decades the family also decorated the interiors with polished stucco and decorative paints. While maintaining some elements of traditional houses, the building is the most exuberant example of nineteenth-century classicism poschiavino. Excellently preserved even in its interior furnishings, the building can be visited by reservation.
