Well, you have been busy. I find it interesting to see a project where there is a split between saving the old & building the new. Will continue watching!
Are you gonna demo all the buildings then just use whatever you can? If so, wouldn’t it have been a lot cheaper just to buy land & build? I know Tuscany is very particular about preserving historical buildings, which is why permitting & planning takes so long. I’m just wondering if you’re planning on renovating any of the large structures & if you have any restrictions bc of preservation. Ppl often use “renovation” & “restoration” interchangeably on YT. There’s a major difference. Like you say, you’re renovating, not restoring.
Thank you for your comment. The main house is treated as a house where you can live in so it will be restored in the way you think - it’s mandatory. The rest of the buildings are/were barns so they “just” need to look like the houses in the neighbourhood and have equal building area as before renovation. We bought this property especially because of the view/location and if any building is already on the property you receive the confirmation that you can renovate/restore it so there is no problem with the building. To be honest we didn’t even check the empty properties (there is not many of them) because this one met our needs
@@borgobaroti I wondered how much red tape you had to go through to do the work. I’m glad the out buildings weren’t protected bc you were able to salvage & reuse the stone from buildings that would cost more to try to save & wouldn’t ever be as sound.
@@chrissyfrancis8952 yes! Restoring of the building (like a main house) would cost more for sure at least because of the size of the house and the time you have to spend to restore every piece of the wall. We’re glad that most of red tape is completed by our architect - without him it would be taking much longer!
@@borgobaroti Having an architect from the area, who knows & follows all the strict regulations of historic preservation, will save you so much time, money & grief. The last thing you’d want to do is have to remove a structure after it’s finished. Italy has amazing craftsmen who still use old world techniques bc of the preservation standards. They’re not just saving the historical landscape, they’re saving the craftsmanship techniques that built Tuscany. I love it. We don’t have 300 year old structures in America. Ironically some of our oldest structures are barns built by German immigrants. The old growth beams in those barns are highly sought after, bc all the several 100 year old trees were used to build the new country.

I have missed you here on YT. Wellcome back ❤
Thank you! We have prepared a couple of videos so we’ll see each other again next week too🫣
I don't see wholes for the tubes in the ground - they will go directly to the sides?
in the next episodes we gonna show
details but yes, they will go from the side 🙂
@@borgobaroti Clear, thanks!
