    Description

    I am Italian who travelled the world. I still do travel the world. Have chosen Puglia, Castrignano de Greci as my getaway. I am investing in the land and engaging in social art eco projects in the region. We are building a community that supports sustainable living. Eco buildings, land art.

    We have an holistic approach to life, we cook on fire and eat the produce of our land.

    I have two wonderful dogs and two cats,10 chickens and a mini pig.
    We have our own food garden, and farm, olive trees and chickens. We would like to expand and grow a plant medicine garden too. Huge Permaculture synergic and elettrocolture garden to take care of. All in the make.
    We are building a sanctuary of good food and safe place.

    Don't come here if you are not ready to engage with nature, insects, heat, animals, passionate and caring.
    We are cool with anyones rhythm of life, we expect respect, care, and passion.
