In Gemona del Friuli, in the ancient suburb called Borgo di Piovega (in Friulian “Borc di Plovie”), in the little square historically named “Plaçute dal Poç” (Little square of the well), you can find our guesthouse “A cjase di Lise”, which literally means “At Lisa’s house”. It’s named after Lisa, born in 1921, who not only was our grandmother, but above all she was a strong, practical and energetic woman; beloved wife of Toni and mother of three children; independent, in spite of all the difficulties, thanks to her inseparable bicycle, and cosy as Friulian people can be once you know them well. We wanted to restore her house and open it to those visiting Gemona, for work or for tourism, because we believe that staying here, even if only for a few days, could make revive the tradition of the suburb where the courtyard of via Properzia 1 was a refreshment stop, maybe just to say hello to Lisa and, who knows, perhaps seeing her bicycle, leaned against the wall with the invisible weight of its years, might keep the memory and the spirit of Lisa alive within these walls.
