Description

When the old count died and the sons inherited the country estate near Etna, in Sicily, the young contessa begged her brothers to share a bit of the family legacy. Bless their generous hearts, they said she could have the pig sty and adjacent land and buildings. No one in the family ever lived on this site. Fast forward, the countess has made a thriving little agribusiness and agritourism lunch destination and, as a productive business with employees, gets tax breaks. The brothers with their useless titles and non-productive land paid big taxes. I think you see a moral in this story!
The countess is older now and has raised her own successful daughter.
This is one of the old, unused buildings. The stucco walls and pink flowering bougainvillea frame the old green door beautifully!
