Description
Hi, we are a family of six people: mum, dad and four children aged 11,9, 7 and 1. We live in a small town in the Chiantishire, close to Florence. Before the birth of our three children we travelled a lot and that gave us the opportunity to meet new people and see different foreign countries.
Nowadays we can't travel and we would like that our children meet people from different languages and cultures in order to be " citizens of the world" even if we stay at home.
Our eldest daughter is deaf, but we think she can learn -step by step -a new language as she is learning Italian.

What else ...
Montepsertoli is a town on a hill in the countryside. This town is famous for the production of Chianti wine. There is not the train, and you can move by bus, car or bike. There are beautiful pathways, old churches and castles to visit. 25 kms from Dlorence, tat you can reach by bus in half an hour, also Pisa and Siena are quite close to us ( more or less an hour by bus).
We like meet new people coming from different countries and we would like our children- above all the yougers- learn languages. We also neeed a person in the afternnon to look after our two youger children, ViolA e Lorenzo, because we are very busy to do logopedic exercises to Vittoria, our oldest daghter that is deaf. She needs to learn Italian as a foreign language, so she has to study new words, to practise using verbs, to improve do discriminate her listening...etc. In these moments the other two children play on their own and sometimes they get bored and they would like to go out and to have fun with other pupils
