  Help

  The main motivation that drives me to host volunteers is in getting help for the management of Irene and the house. Cleaning the house, shopping, cooking, taking the dog out. I usually ask for a collaboration for 5 hours a day for 5 days a week, Saturday and Sunday are totally free. It is very important that the person I welcome speak Italian well enough to be able to communicate with Irene at best.
  
  La motivazione principale che mi spinge a ospitare volontari è nel ricevere aiuto per la gestione di Irene e della casa. Pulizia della casa , fare spesa, cucinare, portare fuori il cane. in genere chiedo collaborazione per 5 ore al giorno per 5 giorni la settimana , il sabato e domenica sono totalmente liberi. È molto importante che la persona che accoglierò parli abbastanza bene l'italiano per riuscire a comunicare al meglio con Irene.

  What else ...

  We are in the heart of Emilia Romagna, a vibrant region with lots to offer visitors and those who live here. The town of Faenza is famous for its ceramics (indeed, the French word for ceramics, "faience", comes from this town!). The town is very livable, full of events for young people like concerts, bars, cultural events. The famous art towns in the region like Bologna, Ravenna (famous for its mosaics), Rimini, Parma, Modena, Ferrara are easily accessible by train (all less than an hour away with easy train connections). Additionally, access to the larger Italian art cities like Florence (2 hours away by train over the mountains as we are just 100 km from Florence), Venice (3 hours away by train), Rome (3 hours away by fast train). The beach is nearby with easy access as well.
