Description
Hello! We are Valentina and Davide with two little girls Margherita and Marta, a young family based in Roero, a wonderful countryside area in the South of Piedmont.
Davide works in his family winery, and me, I’m a designer focused on the revaluation of local materials. Marghe is 3 years old and Marta 1 and half.
As a family-life project, in 2019 we started to fix with our hands an old family house by the vineyard, with a particular attention to the local environment and the original building. We started welcoming everyone who want to get his hands dirty and share with us time, experiences, stories, books, and of course a glass of Roero wines!
Right now we are looking especially in someone who can help us in some building works at home, in particular with plaster! Anyone? :))
Let me know! Ciao Ciao
