Descrição
Ciao! My name is Pietro, I worked as researcher in university (history) and now I am a gardener. I like reading, good music and chinese martial arts. After some years of working and travelling abroad I decided to put my savings in a life project: I bought a small property with an old farmhouse and I'm working to renovate the building and to make the property a nice place to live in, in harmony with the environment and with the rhythm of nature in general
The main tasks if you're visiting me will be building and gardening work, but i will appreciate also any type of artistic or handicraftsman contribution.
The house is in the middle of the hill countryside in the Appennini mountains, 13 km south from the nearest city (Imola, where i lived until 24). The landscape is unique and beatiful, characterized by "calanchi": very peculiar clay mountains. The property is located in the middle of the pasture land of a sheep sheperd.
Hope you can come and enjoy this peaceful place, not very far (40 km) from Bologna, one of the most interesting city in Italy for cultural, artistic and gastronomic heritage.
See you soon! :)
IMPORTANT NOTICE: DUE TO THE DIFFICULT TIMES WE ARE LIVING BECAUSE OF THE COVID PANDEMIC I WILL ONLY ACCEPT FULLY VACCINATED HELPERS FOR THE MOMENT..

Pietro is a considerate, kind and layed back person. I got the chance to see another way of life at his place. Reading and resting after working and accomplishing something new every day. It made me consider to live on the countryside myself some day. This experience turned into a memory I'd like to nourish!

If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful place and perhaps a bit of lovely solitude then Pietro's is the place to be :)
