Viva Italia: Modern Homes We Love
Ciao! Grab some gnocchi and gelato as we prepare to take you on a tour of these striking homes residing in Italy.
This 1930s farmhouse on the coast of Tuscany is sited on a podere, land claimed from
the low-lying salt marshes by the Fascist government in the early decades of the 20th
century. The Dutch technique of “podering” the landscape refers to the process of creating a grid of levees and then draining the squares, which leaves a gridded farmscape with low, even ridges dividing it.
