I Barisèi, cinque generazioni di orgoglio contadino in Franciacorta
La famiglia porta un soprannome antico, i Barisèi, termine dialettale che cinque generazioni si tramandano come una medaglia al valore contadino, un modo colloquiale che racchiude l’umanità e l’affetto di una stirpe legata a questi luoghi fin da epoche remote.
