A few years
ago, Raffaele decided to move me from my home in Fiesole to Il Poggio alle
Ville. He had little time to drive me around but missed me a lot. The idea of spending the rest of my
days in the countryside made me nervous – I’m an old city guy…
I had never expected I would end up photographed and caressed by so many people...

Guests like
to look at me from many angles and share their photos on Facebook. Some of
their friends back home even suggested I should be bought and taken abroad!
Raffaele of course would not allow that – Lucky me!

| Thank you Remco for this nice shot! |
 |
| Willemien even made me look younger in this photo |
 |
| I'm always part of the photo |
Never thought I would enjoy the company of a big brother, but I actually do. We don't see much of each other in summer, but in winter we spend quite some time together.

One day, I
finally got to meet my grandson. He’s a fine chap, very smart, well educated…
These young kids are probably too hi-tech for my taste.

| Here we are: my grandson and I |
 |
| He's taller than me, handsome and good looking. I'm just charming (so I've heard). |

| I told you - I get to be the star in the end |
After all
this time at Il Poggio alle Ville, I find it difficult to imagine going back to
city life. Life here is easy, I relax in the sun, I attend all pizza parties
and, most of all, I am part of memorable photos of dear guests.

| So excited I made it to a wedding album |
If I am to be restored, maybe I can even take you for a ride - but I can't compete with these guys...
 |
| Truly honoured by such a great company |
Next time you come to Il Poggio alle Ville for your holidays, do stop by for a chat and a glass of wine.
We can enjoy the wonderful Tuscan sunsets together.
