During the visit to the Borgo, by pure chance, we were lucky enough to meet Mr. Renato who periodically comes to Fraggio from Milan to his beautiful Baita "L'arco" which he personally renovated.
While chatting he tells me that he was born in Fraggio in the family farmhouse (the renovated pink one) where the family lived a peasant life.
He himself, at a young age, when the herd was moved to the lower Milanese area (San Raffaele - Segrate area) was taken there by motorbike to look after the animals, living a "Fameì" life.

Originally the "Famèi" (a dialect term for "family" = servant of the house, of the family) was a typical figure of the peasant society of the Po Valley.
In some cases, when poverty did not allow all the children to be fed at a young age, the "Famèi" was "rented", through mediators, to wealthier families who exchanged their services for food and accommodation.
In other cases however, the "Famèi" had the role of assistant, when large seasonal movements from the mountain pastures to the rich pastures of the lower plain were organised.
