SHORT DESCRIPTION
Casa Rocca, “al Bait de Móléta”, is one of the best-preserved buildings in the historic centre of Oga.
Inside, it features, among other things, a wooden stua with the date 1556 engraved on a beam, placing this example among the oldest preserved in Upper Valtellina. The building is divided into two distinct, interconnected parts: the residence (or rather the residences, considering that the floors could be independent when needed) and the part dedicated to agricultural activities. Particularly interesting are the vaulted ceilings, whether plain or with lunettes, found both in the residence and in the stable and cellars.
The accesses to the residence and the hayloft on the uphill side are the most altered part of the complex due to the widening of the municipal road: until a few decades ago, it was possible to access the lower corridor – “cort” – and the stable through a doorway created under the house entrance staircase.
The internal layout has undergone a few minor changes over time, interesting as evidence of the changing needs of the descendants of the same family that has always lived in the house.
