Cucina nera (black kitchen) retains the original shape of the hearth, which is low, one palm of the hand high, leaning against the wall opposite the entrance and bordered on all four sides by stone blocks.
Cucina nera (black kitchen) retains the original shape of the hearth, which is low, one palm of the hand high, leaning against the wall opposite the entrance and bordered on all four sides by stone blocks. The colour of the walls is due to the absence of a chimney, making the front door the only way out for smoke. Maria Miscoria lived here, without running water or a toilet, until 1990.
