and if you stay here you&#8217;ll immediately understand why.<br \/>\nBut it didn&#8217;t start with a business, it started with a vacation home.<br \/>\nWe bought, after a long search, in 2016 a house in Montottone in southern Le Marche.<br \/>\nWe really wanted to get to know the country; all the seasons, the people and, of course, we wanted to learn to speak the language.<br \/>\nDuring the years in our home in Montottone, we completely immersed ourselves in Italian culture.<br \/>\nWe experienced the Italians as open, warm, emotional, very friendly and proud of their traditions.<br \/>\nStarting a business together in Italy?<br \/>\nIt began to itch more and more.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,3_4&#8243;
