CHARACTERISTICS:

 

We can recognize the historical original nucleus still today: it is the group of buildings organised around a very large central space, which coincides with the court.

In '700 Brovetto was a very big nucleus situated in the street between Fantone and the Municipal road. Further the six houses with courts, there were also a barn, a stable, a house in ruin and an oven. This structure was probably important for the number of Cantone Brovetto's inhabitants. In the Canton there were only a family, with the organisation like a large family.
