Description
Hello and welcome to our family!
We are the Gallo family: Denise, Daniele, Ethan, Jonas.
We live in a small town in Piedmont called Dogliani, famous for its Dolcetto wine.
Our house is a typical Piedmontese country farmhouse, located at the end of a suburb, on the edge of the woods, surrounded by vineyards and hazelnut trees.
Daniele is a blacksmith and works from home in his workshop. In addition to his craft, he loves restoring and renovating objects, giving them a new life. He is happy to share his passion with anyone interested in learning or working alongside him on creative projects.
Denise is currently a full-time mom, taking care of the home and family. During the summer, she occasionally works outside the house.
Our house is a constant work in progress, with many things to restore, improve, and create.
We have a really small farm with a vegetable garden, some farm animals (ducks, three cats, and two dogs), and fruit trees, especially hazelnut trees.
We enjoy having interesting people around us, from different cultures, with unique stories to share.
We love food ,discovering and trying new dishes, and recipes.
We're excited to learn from you and share what we know. Can’t wait to welcome you into our home and have a good time together!
We're learning English, so please be patient with us.
Feel free to ask any question.
See you soon!
Denise
