Right at the entrance to Via della Difesa in the centre you’ll come across one of the most characteristic buildings in Cortina: Casa Corazza.
A large clock on the wall marks the hours and recalls the profession of its original owners: in fact, here there once was a workshop for the construction and repair of wall clocks.
The “Corazza Ampezzo” sign, which still appears on the wall today, refers to the nickname of the “Dibetto”, a family of Ampezzo natives who specialised first in forging armour, then as blacksmiths and finally as watchmakers.
The balcony of the house ends with a small wooden hand, indicating a direction that leaves room for interpretation: towards the nearby church of San Francesco or the cemetery perhaps?
