This Gallery comes from a castle and village restoration project from a students family in the north of Italy near the Slovenian border. After 30 years of work, half the village has been restored as well as other cultural artifacts. Plus the castle is getting its finishing touches in the next year. The project will be turning more and more into Permaculture and Livia will be creating a traditional skills school to help keep traditions like building with stone or making tapestries alive.
