Description
I am a songwriter/ musician / producer / visual artist, proscientific and active antifascist and a GAE (Environmental Hiking Guide). I Studied visual art and then got a master in musical production and have a deep interest in particulars partisans' and Resistance histories that have strongly characterized these places i love and where i live.
Over the years have had various jobs and experiences, from music production to managing a record label, graphics, up to creative workshops with multiethnic children, restoration, recycling, etc.
Travelled a lot around Europe playing music and lived between Romagna and Emilia, where in 2009 i started a still active commune of musicians. I lived in an old motorhome for a year and camperized a littler one then; today i have a little caravan too that I make available to guests.
In 2019, just before the pandemic, I bought this piece of land on the edge of the woods, in this valley that is very convenient for the Bologna-Florence highway, 100 meters under Via Degli Dei and Gothic Line, close to Monte Adone and in front of Monte Sole, where i work with classrooms, by visiting places of nature and memory. It's very close to the Vado-Monzuno station (Bologna to Prato railway). This place consists of a small wooden house that was falling apart and that I have restored from top to bottom with my hands, learning to do everything i needed independently, up to using and maintaining all the tools necessary to be as self-sufficient as possible. I have some animals, two lagottos dogs, two cats, a few hens and other small aquatic guests and I am surrounded by some fruit trees, many wild herbs, large cedars and oaks.
I can host 1 person for now, but would like to improve this possibility for at least two, and need help for gardening, diy projects, manteinance, animals' care specially when out working
