My name is Elisa, I'm 66 years old and I've been living in Savigno for about 15 years with my beloved Benny (the dog that you see in the picture with me) and together with my brother's family.

I was born and raised in one of the most industrialized areas of northern Italy, between concrete and stress.

At some point in my life, tired of all this and of my profession that forced me into the office even 18/20 hours a day, I accidentally discovered an old ruin abandoned for over 40 years, located on the top of a hill, where the view reaches the distant peaks of the Alps of Verona.

I made this so radical lifestyle choice when I was 50, and now, after almost 15 years, I'm happy and proud of what I have achieved and I want to share it with other people.
