    Description

    Hi my name is Manuele, I'm 42 and I live in Montelupone - Marche - on a pretty hill of about 6 hectares, not so far from the seaside, just 15 minutes. Everyday I take care of this place where i'm doin various permaculture projects, ranging from green building, to growin crops in the fields with sustainable methods. I'm currently into a nice agroforestry project for which i'm planting lots of tree and different crops to regenerate soil.
    I built two yurts, one of these is my house, the other one is reserved to the guests that come in the summertimes but for the rest of the year it can be used by friends or volunteers. There is a lot of space for fix tends, there is water, electricity, bathroom, kitchen, and some other space for doing activities and regenerate yourself. I love carpentry, that's why I create a little laboratory, but quite well stocked of tools that can be used for creations. Another passion is cookin good food.
    The place is really young, and there is the chance to design and define different spaces with plants and other, just discuss and observe together to understand how it can be integrated with the nature and be functional.
    I'm also a busker, I play guitar and singing, I like to perform on the street, the magic of this dimension, it gives me a lot of energy.
    it's possible to spend time by the seaside or up the mountain, because the two environment are really close to the place.
    The Little Village, montelupone, Is in the rank of the most beautifull Village in Italy, Just 5 minutes from here.
