    Description

    Hello, we're Elena (37 years old), Ruggge (38) and Nina (2). We live in Lecce and we've a wooden house with 2000 mt2 of a fruit garden. We've also 2 dogs, 1 cat and 3 chicken. We have built by ourselves a part of our house, we need now to perfect something in self-building. We are 2 freelance and sometimes we need to leave, sometimes together with Nina but often just one of us leave to work away for few days.
    We are creative, we work with visual art, graphic, craft and more.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are super close to a really interesting cultural centre and we are also near to the historical centre of Lecce, a baroque city in south Italy, full of young and lovely people. Here life is slow, simple and beautiful: sunny days, warm winter, good food and sea life. Here you can learn a lot about agriculture and self production of food, but also in craft and local art. We've a studio in the historical centre where you can work also with ceramic, prints, embroidery, and more. There are a lot of international community near us for exchange experiences.
