11. A Passion for the Traditional Hand Weaving of Umbria with Marta Cucchia

Marta Cucchia fell in love with the traditional techniques of Umbrian hand weaving and has continued to carry on this historic craft, which three generations of women in her family before her have kept alive. Her great grandmother, Giuditta Brozzetti, started the studio in 1921 in Perugia and now, under Marta's care, it is one of the last in Umbria to practice and promote this age-old craft. Marta describes her techniques, the motifs and types of looms she uses and the 13th century church in which her studio is located.

13. The Evolution of Podere il Casale, an Incredible Organic Farm & Restaurant in Tuscany with Sandra Schmidig

When Sandra Schmidig and her husband, Ulisse, left Switzerland to search for a warm place to produce organic food, they were told to look in the Val d'Orcia area of Tuscany. In this picturesque area they found a farmer ready to retire who had 200 acres to sell at a price they could afford. With his mentoring and their hard work, the farm grew from one chicken and one sheep into an amazing agricultural endeavor that includes a restaurant, olive groves, vineyards, many farm animals and fields of ancient grain. They produce honey, olive oil, wine, pasta, goat and sheep milk cheeses. They also offer cooking classes, truffle hunts and camping accommodations. The latest project is a cookbook soon available for sale on the website.
