Description
Hi everyone!
I'm Gabrielle (46) and I am here to talk a little bit about myself and to tell you some stuff about this magic place and the vision I have about it.
I'm a musician and I love to play with friends or by myself. I learned how to play the "tabla drum" at India and I know how to play drums too. I like to do physical exercise too (I go running four times a week and do box training). The contact with nature is very healthful and important for me, that's why I decided to start building this place ten years ago.
I decided to make an European Union eco project about making structures made of natural elements such as stone, wood, glass, earth. This project is about creating a cultural center between art and nature , farming, natural lifestyle and free time for the people that passes here (doesn't matter the time they decide to stay).
I lived in India for so many years, so I am open to all kind of good and sane exchange. Cultural exchange for me is about sharing ideas (art, ways of living, good stories). My way of living is very basic but, at the same time, with all the comodities a person needs for basic life. People here can do what they want, the only thing I ask is to respect the peace and equilibrium of the place.

I spent two weeks at Gabriele's place and it was a great experience. He is an amazing host, very kind and easygoing, always making sure I was comfortable not only in the house but also with the jobs we did together. We shared some great meals and times and drove to the hot springs a few times which was very relaxing after a day's work.

Gabriele is a positive, fantastic person and always makes himself available. The place is magical completely surrounded by nature. His four-legged friends are excellent company. I had a great time and can't wait to go back, I miss everything already.

La posizione della casa di Gabriele è stupenda, un luogo bellissimo, molto introspettivo e pulito. Il suo progetto di eco villaggio è altrettanto bello.
nonostante la mia breve permanenza posso dire che con Gabriele si può parlare tranquillamente ed è risultato un periodo ricco di spunti.

Arrivai da te colmo di “gioia” e desiderio di mettermi in gioco e tu hai soddisfatto tale richiesta senza esitare.
Hai creduto nelle mia persona più di quanto io lo facessi con me, mi hai mostrato che la “calma” non è solo una parola ma un “fatto” costante.

I passed a nice time here on Gabri's land this winter and now I am sad to be back in city life. The work here is good and satisfying- whatever you can contribute with your skills and energy is appreciated. I enjoyed painting some tibetan details in the house and spending time in the garden and nearby hot springs. Thank you for everything Gabri :)
