"El Molì dei Blèc: place of memory and ......beyond."

"El Molì dei Blèc" is spread over three floors, each of about 40 square metres, in which are located all the equipment of the early twentieth century designed to guarantee the production cycle of grinding.
In 1943, Ilario Mora, the last miller in Bezzecca, decided to move the old mill by bringing the machinery to the historic centre of the village of Bezzecca, next to the house. He replaced the water wheel with an electric motor and in 1950 eliminated stone millstones in favour of a cylinder mill. The socio-economic development of the 1960s led to the abandonment of the countryside in favour of a factory or fortune-telling occupation abroad. Few remained in the valley to grow wheat, rye and buckwheat and the mill activity ceased.
