I was still a teenager  when I first set foot  in a building yard.  A builder said to me: ‘Building! A job just like any other.’ Thinking back over his words, I, at the time, would never have imagined  that this job could give me as much as it has and that I would have become so strongly fond of it over the years!

I love my country and all its traditions and thanks to my job as a restorer, which I have now been for years, I have had and still have the possibility of preserving historical and cultural heritages.

These farm houses, once restored, become antique pieces; they are unique in their kind.
