From the emotional bond for the places of my childhood was born the desire to recover and enhance the small rural village of Nocille, among the hills of the Ionian hinterland of Calabria, a few steps from the sea. The protection of the architectural and gastronomic heritage are the basis of my mission, which I wanted to pursue by initiating a broader cultural project of ecotourism. A passion for green building on the one hand, and animals on the other, meant that I was dedicated to rural heritage protection, beekeeping, and educational workshops with children and adults in the company of donkeys.
