Born in Ethiopia to Italian/Russian parents.
One of 4 siblings, spent my early school years in Portuguese Mozambique, my late teens in Johannesburg and Pretoria, ZA; read Political Science in Florence, Russian in France, Conference Interpreting in Milan.
Met my husband in Venice and have 2 married daughters & 6 adult grandchildren.
Enjoyed decades of professional life and travels and eventually faced "My Tuscan Experience".
Became the manager of a farm estate -
FATTORIA DI MEZZOMONTE, focusing mainly on Excellent Olive Oil & genuine Wines production.
Fully renovated Villa MURGIANO to a state of the art comfort and found it too large for my needs.
Therefore, aside from Family, for whom this is the ideal holiday setting, I keep the main house for Visitors to relax, all around the year. I enjoy helping them out, if necessary, offering them a superb Tuscan Experience at Villa MURGIANO.
