Fulvia Room - Relais Al Bel San Domenico
"He had always thought of the hills as the natural theater of his love. Instead, it had fallen to him to do the last thing imaginable with them: war."
This is one of the memorable passages in "A Private Matter"-Beppe Fenoglio's finest novel from Alba-focusing on the story of love and war between Milton and Fulvia.
She, Fulvia, lived here! She is in fact modeled on Benedetta Ferrero, Italo's sister; in the family, however, she has always been Aunt Mimma to everyone.
The 1940s atmosphere can be felt, amidst the soft powder light of the curtains, in the original furniture of the period, in the photos of Benedetta as a girl, in the petineuse and especially in the radio stopped forever on Over The Rainbow.
