I’m 100% Italian. My parents immigrated to California after their first child was born. 1958. We are northern Italian. Piemonte. I have a problem that this couple, the woman being Dutch, the man French, bought a house In Chianti to make a house and business rental to give people a “Tuscan” experience? They are not even Italian! I find this stupid and insulting! The man is French. Why didn’t they buy a house in France and give people a French experience? I really felt upset about this. Also, to be clear, Italians really don’t like the French or Dutch or German.. or basically people from any other country, buying their Italian property. No wonder the contractors took so long to get the work done. Trust me, a lot of this is because they just don’t like foreigners. The Americans did a good job despite the many obstacles. They were friendly, polite and have skills. The foreign owners were annoying. That’s why Italians don’t care for the French or Dutch or most foreigners. I’m just being blatantly honest. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. It’s just the way it is. Again, I think it’s really weird and stupid for non Italians buying an Italian farm house In Chianti, to give tourists..a foreigner in Italy take on the Italian experience? It’s just insulting to Italians!
Well, thanks for your "honesty", but people's stories are usually more complex than what is clipped into a show... As I'm sure you love your home country even though you are 100% Italian (Italy being a country that has only existed for around 150 years as I'm sure you know), I have made Italy my home for 30 years now and speak Italian with a Tuscan accent! I came with 1 suitcase (as I'm sure your parents came with little when they arrived in the US). Foreigners or immigrants always must work harder to create their space in a foreign country, but if they create worth and value they are welcomed and liked by most, no matter their origin.
I love this Season! I love Italy!
Absolutely divine !
How do we rent this villa?
Thanks 🙏 You can see our website www.camposasso.com
