Old, ex academics, who moved to Italy as early retirees, partied and travelled back and forth to Sydney, got bored with our indolent life-style, were persuaded to rent out our home, while away, to a violinist performing at the Spoleto festival. Took it from there. That was year 2003 ! Never looked back. Love it ! It means we can talk ad nauseam to anyone who will listen about the fairy tale place in which we live..... Spoleto and its surrounding areas.
