The chorus of Italian voices bring the area to life, from the local olive farmer and the local priest to local wine producers and a nearby hotelier.

Maurizio - Owner of La Banditaccia
“My home, La Banditaccia, has given me the best days of my life And now the time has come to sell our farm so that it can be someone else’s dream as it was for us all those years ago.”
Father Gianni - Local priest
“The rural life is a tough life, a hard life that puts one to the test. When they do it, they really need great courage. Tuscany is a great place to change your life, but it all depends on what one brings with them or what they are running away from.”
Romain - Olive farmer
“I had a boring corporate job in Paris but it was not fulfilling. Personally it was very important for me to find the meaning of life and to go in this direction. I choose to stay here because of the simplicity of the life.”
Samuele - Local farmer
“My advice is to get to know who lives around you, when you go and live somewhere rural: at times you will always need some help and so it’s important to know your neighbours.”
