    Description

    ***English mothertongue only***

    Hello! My name is Stefania, I lived abroad many years of my life (in Leeds UK, Cincinnati, USA and Australia in Melbourne and Perth) and would love our kids to experience the same one day.

    We are a family of four: mum (export sales support at Venchi), dad (driver), Samuele 8 and Martina 5yo

    We live in Fossano, a town in the north west of Italy. It’s a historical center, with many parks and cycling roads.
    It has a very strategic position as it is only half an hour drive/train ride from the mountains and one hour drive/train ride from the seaside. Also it is 1 hour train ride from Turin, 2 from Milan, Lake Maggiore, Cinque Terre and Lake Como and about 5 to go to Florence or Venice or French Riviera, 6 to Rome, Naples or Paris.
