Symbolic of an extremely poor rural civilization, the Case di Creta of Alviano are the testimonianze of the strong relations between the human and the resources of the territory.
In Italy the building tradition sith raw earth is really ancient and attested, from the neolithic period: the houses of Alviano were populated until the nineteenth century
The birth of this building construction in this area was determined from different factors of geological and anthropical nature: the clayey territory, the missed of comfortable streets and the difficult of the transport of raw material, the scarcity of sources and aquifers and the poorness, had induced to building houses in kneaded clay with rain waters and straw in bricks called solid or mazzocchi.
