Villa San Rocco - Facade

With the Italian holiday season (‘ferie’) coming to an end, work will soon begin again in earnest. In fact, our wonderful construction team – the brothers Luca and Domenico, alongside Marco and young Livio – have barely drawn breath. It is an enormous project. Having dealt with the small issue of the 300m² (~3300 square foot) roof that needed repairing, the builders (all residents of the village) more recently have had to contend with what twenty plus years of water damage and general neglect will do to an old building’s floors and internal walls.
