In the small square around the ancient wood-fired oven, where the residents baked their bread, you can enjoy pizza and other delicious dishes.
The oven was once an important part of village life; bread was baked once a week, and the bread was shared among everyone.
The restoration of the oven, along with the restoration of the bells, were two important signs of the "vita nova" of Castello di Postignano.
With a view of the rolling Umbrian hills, the panoramic square hosts the ancient wood-fired oven: a silent presence yet steeped in memory, which once marked the rhythm of life in the village.
Once a week, residents brought their dough there for collective baking. They waited their turn amidst chatter and smiles, and at the end, the bread was shared with those who hadn't had time to knead. The oven wasn't just a tool, but a meeting place, a place of mutual care, a vibrant community.
Today, that oven has been restored with respect and care, brought back to life without betraying its soul. Around it, in the square, you can enjoy pizzas cooked as they once were and other dishes prepared with simplicity and passion, in an atmosphere that invites you to slow down, savor, and share.
“Poverty wasn't scary if you were together. It didn't take much, but it was enough for everyone.”
Providing a musical backdrop to this rediscovered place is the ringing of the ancient bells. These, too, have been restored, discreetly overlooking the small square, and today they once again mark the time with the same clear voice as before. Their sound accompanies the village's days like a regular, familiar rhythm, a reminder of belonging, return, and continuity.
The restoration of the ancient oven and bells represents one of the most significant moments in the "vita nova" of Castello di Postignano: concrete gestures that speak of care, memory, and an everyday beauty that is slowly returning to its senses.
