- It's the story of millions of families who fled to cities for work generations ago, then feeling the call of the old land. The Laboroi family returned to the Graian Alps to revive their old intergenerational barnhouse.
In 1940, the Laboroi family moved into a housebarn in Italy’s Graian Alps that was big enough for the five family members, as well as their goats, cows and chickens and hay. Being able to fit everything under one roof was a luxury that meant no one needed to go outside to work with the animals during cold, snowy winters.
Eighty years later, the Laboroi’s still live in the mountains - unlike many other farmers from the area who moved to the city in the ‘60s and ‘70s -, but they wanted to restore the original stone housebarn which had been covered in cement plaster by the previous generation. Andrea Laboroi and architect
Davide Querio decided to turn the abandoned stables into bedrooms and open up a huge picture window in the former hayloft to provide the living room with a view of the alps, valley, Gran Paradiso National Park, and even a waterfall.

Love it. Light is everything, very clever.
Great ideas abound.
Looking forward to see the upgrades in your cabin series!
I thought this view was of the mountains where your land is!!!
They certainly put a bit more resources than you but the place has a lot of similarities with yours. Thanks for checking in. We're glad things are going alright since we visited a few months ago.
Wow. That house is a treasure. Breathtaking. Tastefully done. Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻
Wow! Breath taking! What an amazing adventure you had to bring back life in your 🏡. Breath taking views! I love the quilt that was made and preserved from your grandparent ❤️
“There is a future with the past.” I love this.
They put a LOT of thought into this! Wow, modern upgrades, respect to the history, AND the views of the Alps. I think perhaps the grandparents would have approved of their efforts 100%.
"there is a future with the past" I really liked that ❤️ couldn't be more true
Love that you updated your grandparents home. Imagine how they worked so hard to build that place out of stone. You did a great job updating. Looks fantastic 🙋♀️❤ enjoy 🥰
I was there in Italy...living there at Torino... And many times comes there....bellissimo posto per stare tranquilli.
oh, so Torino is Turin.
Beautifully renovated and what a spectacular view! The family seemed charming too, I enjoyed this video very much :)
“There is a future with the past…” Bravissimo!
When you said this looks like something out of a painting, I thought exactly the same. It is fantastic the Owners studied about light’s and how to incorporate history with present. Just gorgeous!
Absolutely beautiful
I love this
That view is breathtaking 😍😍
I love how they respect the original _spirit_ of the housebarn. Simply divine and the view is just breathtaking.
Because of Turin's Winter Olympic Games, in 2006 I had to sell my grandmother's house. It is something I will always regret in my life but I hadn't money to restore it and I was forced to sell it. It's so beautiful to me to see someone had the chance to save such a piece of memory in a such respectfull way. Thank you ever so much for sharing such a beautiful experience Kirsten
What, they said your grandmas house was too ugly to be near the Olympics?? That’s messed up lol In America the government can force you to sell as well tho so I’m aware of the concept.
maybe u can buy it back and restore it
Bellissimo! Love old stone buildings. And that Italian accent; I could listen to that man talk all day :)
In English and Italian!
They have restored a beautiful house with such wonderful views of the mountains and valley below.
What a wonderful gift for the next generation. Shows much respect for the history AND attention to comfort needed to live comfortably too.
That place absolutely RULES. Totally love it 😍
Such a beautiful, sensitive restoration. The views are immense.
If I was an animal, I would not want such a huge cow bell.
the view is incredible!
Fantasic job revealing the beauty of those stone walls.
I like everything about the place. The care of restoration, the interior and of course the views. It's like looking at a painting everyday.
Questo è il modo di restaurare una antica casa pastorale. Complimenti allo studio che ha ristrutturato meravigliosamente.
Hermosa casa… ! Genial este video..! Gracias por compartir..!!! Gracias..!
this is one of the most beautiful things i´ve seen in a while... the area, the house, nature, the mountains... reminds me of my time in swiss alps :D thx for sharing...
Amazing! So beautiful!
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing!
This is such a beautiful home in one of the beautiful areas of Italy. So much attention to detail and respect for the structure and it's hiSTORY. Mille grazie. Always such great work you do!
a beautiful restoration, with magnificent views.
Beautiful restoration.
Absolutely spectacular!! Kirsten, you've done it AGAIN! Jaw-droppingly beautiful!
That final piece of music, the ringing bells of the goat ! Awesome !!
Beautiful home… and that view ❤️
As much as anything, I think your business and your ability to expose your children to all these different homes, homesteads, gardening… Must be the most amazing education… To say nothing of having fun. Great videos by the way!
That’s so stunning! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this! My grandmother‘s family was from Locana and I imagine their home was very similar.
just breathtaking - the views and the renovation of the structure
Beautiful home, love all the stone and timber.
Just so beautiful.. To combine the stone with smooth modern convenience....done with thoughtful respect for the buildings rustic beauty. Great success.
Bellissima! in Italia ci sono molte case così abbandonate, che, potrebbero ritornare a vivere !complimenti è una casa riprogettata in maniera stupenda !
Speak of a dream home you have one thank you for the wonderful journey ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👍🏼Mesa,Arizona 🍀🍀🇺🇸🛐✝️

Nononono, hermosa casa,que buena visión, amazing hoyse, beatiful!!!.
just beautiful brings back my childhood memories in italy ,my zio did this too his place is just gorgeous
Wonder what their building codes are like and how would it fare in a decent earthquake ?
Yes rural people sometimes leave for the big city and bright lights and the promise they think it hold only to find what they left behind was far better for the soul.
Waylon Jennings sang a song called "Where Corn Don't Grow" , give it a listen , tells a story of leaving their country home for a better life in the city only to find after years of city toil and struggle that the life they left behind was better for your soul . 🤗
Awww…. So sad. But I blame the government for this tragedy. Farming life pays very little … plus education and basic infrastructure in rural areas is limited and at times nonexistent. The government in many countries around the world is the one to be blame for the farmers exodus. Now 30, 40 years later …. We see that the government is trying to create programs to bring people back into rural areas but it’s been difficult to achieve. So what’s the new plan? Well, the new plan is to place immigrants/refugees from Africa, Afghanistan, Haiti, Syria etc in rural areas of Italy. And so in my opinion this comes with some negative outcomes…like the disappearance of a culture and a way of life. A land full of individuals with a lifestyle, culture and traditions that don’t pay tribute to the real roots of an specific area. To me that’s another major tragedy. Thanks to the mistakes of corrupted and greedy politicians. Ps: I’ll be searching for the song.
That area in the seismic map of Italy, is classified as ''low risk''. Clearly that house are not built according to resist to quakes, the roof should be supported by pillars not linked to side walls.
@@bibit3856 LOL that's the point! it doesn't HAVE to pay a lot. Just enough, and it is much cheaper to live there and make/ grow your own. yes, it's sad to bring people of very incompatible cultures there. But if they are Christians at least, it is more tolerable. As opposed to other religion which can be a conflict.
love all that stone, in those old villages and farms. people should do more of this in our country in the hills. As DIY.
A very tastefully executed rendition of their original ancestral home.
So beautiful. I love the ancient stones, the natural wood, the stunning views. Bravo.
Fantastic couple and fantastic renovation, what a scenery!
Love the way they play "hide and seek" with the light throughout this beautiful house. So, the house's lumen wouldn't overpower the spectacular view outside.
🌍Kristen's kids are the luckiest kids in the 🌎
They are living my ultimate dream.
A pretty one-sided view.
@@hausmaus5698 They have traveled all over the world, and have seen a great many aspects of life in each place. How can that be "one-sided"? They know more about the world than most adults. And each new place broadens their horizons that much more. Your view is much too narrow.
@@standunitedorfall1863 This is your point of view. Perhaps we should ask the children themselves whether they would have preferred to spend their childhood with friends or only with their working parents.
This is marvellous design retaining so much original materials and thus elements of the past history. But also moving to the modern.
simply beautiful
Wow! The views!
Another great find…the location…views are priceless….of course the stone and timber…indirect lighting…the maim room view captures eternity,,,thanks…stay safe,,,………where are the kids?
Stunning! Love this! So glad they removed the plaster from those beautiful stone walls. That view from the hayloft window....fantastic. I could sit there for days.....
What a beautiful home!
Oh to wake up to that view😍
SIMPLY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, AMAZING ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!
marvelous, a gift - thanks for sharing it
I like how your videos felt like we are there with you. Thank you for this tour! Amazing!
One of the best renovations I’ve seen. Perfect combination of old and new. The lighting is spectacular and very classy.
Such natural beauty ❤️❤️❤️
So beautyful place with scenes.
This is awesome. Thank you for putting this together and sharing!
My great grandparents came from that area. What an amazing place. Reminds me of Falling Water in Pennsylvania.
Me encanta. Es precioso y auntentico y me emociona. Creo que hay algo que me conecta a lo ancestral en estos videos de renovacion de edificios rurales antiguos que mantenienen la esencia. Y vuestro trabajo docugrafico contribuye, por supuesto.
what a spectacular view!
Bravo! It's beautiful and the views amazing.
Absolutely beautiful. Their ancestors would be so happy and proud
Very nice and well done. One my Ardennes house from 1860, i have the same kind of roof tiles. Also the walls are like yours. You gave me some very nice ideas. Ciao.
The views are majestic and the house, well. I want to live in it now...
If I lived there, I would never want to leave.
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Wow superb amazing transformation done.
The plan is brilliant, I wish I had one of these..
Beautiful video (thanks!) and stunning renovation! At the minute 13 there is a mistake, as they clearly say "milleduecento metri" which is 1200 meters, not 1800 as written.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, KIRSTEN!!!! Do take care. Fl., U.S.A.
Thanks for the videos and the ones on homelessness.
Absolutely stunning!!! So gorgeous! The fact that they focused in preserving the Italian aspect of the farmhouse, plus items that belonged to past generations like the bed cover, it’s something that I truly admire. I sometimes say that we need to be more “materialistic “ meaning, we need to fall in love with the things we own. These days everything is disposable….things no longer have a sentimental value… it has become so easy to just get rid of things, everything becomes garbage. And if we were to become more “materialistic“ maybe the planet could also suffer a little less.
I may be related to these people. My great uncle and his immediate family immigrated to the US around the turn of the last century. Their last name was Laboroi, and they were from the same part of Italy as these people.
Another winning episode.
Que hermoso lugar, hermoso proyecto e increíble 👏👏 todos los detalles
Wonderful impact
It had to be incredibly daunting to remove all that plaster. I can not even imagine taking that on. What a beautiful, and peaceful place to live.
I wish I have this kind of farmhouse one day
Very well done. Creative.
Beautiful restoration I would love to give one day to live there
but you have to be short. anyway, MANY old stone houses in the hill villages are available for sale and restoration in italy.
Sempre più persone tornano nella terra dei loro avi. E' bello vedere questo fienile ristrutturato complimenti è bellissimo.
I've watched every single one of your videos, this view made me gasp, incredible!
Amazing property!
Stunning !!!
WOW! Beautiful!
It does my heart good to see a house like this rescued.
Good job, very nicely done.
What a life you lead. So beautiful ❤️🍀
Absolute heaven on earth
