“Podere le Ripi started as a dream, and a very old one too: a dream to create something. This dream is also an aesthetic one: creating something extremely beautiful.
When I was 18 years old my dream was supposed to be an island, and Podere le Ripi is not an island, but it is some sort of a peninsula that dives into the noisy Orcia river.

With time, this something beautiful became also healthy and sustainable, and later we realized that it could have been applied somewhere else, therefore becoming replicable and socially positive in its approach.
