Tuscany belongs to everyone who’s ever dreamt about it, yearned for it or lived side by side with it. Regardless of where you are, the soul and essence of Tuscany is so present, that you don’t have to live there to know it. Live it where you are.
It’s almost a myth, the life that is being lived between farmhouses, olive trees and family recipes. It’s a life many people dream about, but it is not always within physical reach. What is this elevated dream and where does it stem from?
I believe a lot of it comes from the yearning a lot of people have, to live a more meaningful life in tact with nature and with them self. A life where you can get up with the birds in the morning and go to bed in the evening, knowing that your day has been full – that you are full. In between the birds in the morning and the sunset in the evening is the frame where you can pursue what makes you; You. Perhaps it is a love for art, the Italian language or the Italian man. (Whatever floats your Gondola). Perhaps you feel a calling for a life that can help quiet your mind and allow yourself to focus upon what is truly important in your life.
It is a place where time seems vaster. The landscape illustrates and underlines this with its sloping, soft hills and long lines stretched far into the horizon, where the mountaintops make a patchwork in blue. Time seems plentiful and packed with quality and beauty. It is a place where passion is given weight, where creativity is nurtured and, let me use a very poignant word from Alice in Wonderland; a place where you can begin the search for your muchness.
Cheers… and salute
Love Italy, love life.
