Antica ghiacciaia

La Ghiacciaia in Piazza Municipio (unica in valle) è una costruzione muraria cilindrica, necessaria ai tempi per la conservazione del cibo. La neve veniva compattata e gettata nella ghiacciaia per mantener freddo il luogo anche durante il periodo estivo.
Il tetto è a volta e i muri sono spessi circa un metro, la profondità è di 8,45 metri.

Ghiacciaia, per il latte, ecc…, ne ho viste da diverse parti, in particolare in Valtellina ed una anche qui a Piedicavallo in Vallle Cervo.
Ciao.
