    Comment down below to let me know what you think of this beautiful house in Fivizzano...

  • @CristianoBelloni
    @CristianoBelloni 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

    Hey, just to clarify. The house was built by my great-grandfather in the 30s, and its real name is Coni Zugna, from the WW1 battle in the Coni-Zugna mountains against Austria (my great grandfather fought there). The heraldic crest is my family crest, from my mum's side. The house was divided between my grandfather and his brother when my grand-grand passed, and my grandfather stayed in the upper part (the lower was sold almost immediately). He was a lawyer in Fivizzano and the 1700s hospital in via Labindo was his study. I lived in that house for a while in the 90s, when it had its original furniture. My grandfather passed in the 2000s but he had been living elsewhere for a while before passing. Ironically, I now live in the UK (in a period house 😂). Let me know if you need any other info on the house.

    I absolutely loved how you swapped out those dining room chairs and yes, I totally agree, it looked so much better.
    The house is beautiful and I love the floors and I do love how minimal they have decorated the rooms. I would have to ask you for help in the second bathroom with those wall tiles against the floor tiles. I have a hard time seeing a vision there as the colors are not my favorite. But I know you would do it right!
    Congratulations John and Johnny on such a lovely home.

    Such a beautiful restoration. I know they're doing the really important necessary improvements but how nice would it be to collaborate and add your sense of design flair. A few more soft furnishings, art, vases, flowers, etc from local secondhand shops. Just enough to enhance and not distract from the beauty that is already there. Replacing the dining chairs was a great start!

  • @carmelroselli8220

    Maybe with time the guys can decorate it with beautiful, historical and elegant period pieces which the house deserves. It truly deserves the quality, beauty and class of interior of the period in which it was built. Huge congrats on its restoration.

    Brave, brave Annette: giving not one, but two Gusbands interior design advice. When they were taking the dining room chairs up the staircase, I laughed my ar$e off.

    I am an American and I find the house to be stunning. It comes across as a large estate but it appears to be manageable. Super cool that they are remodeling when possible but have thoroughly thought it out. The floors are a bit bold but probably true to Italy?? I hope to see this house again after they have completed it. It will be spectacular !!

    The exterior suggests serious structural cleavage and movement. That is the problem all stone and brick, temperature fluctuations + the odd quake here n there can show up big fractures.
    Italy is full of them. But, you work around it I guess.
