Day Opening - January 16
Villa Monticello was built by the counts of Orsolini at Avenza, Tuscany, Italy, in 1766 as a small country retreat. In the late 19th century, it was acquired by French Dervillé family, who did some renovating by adding grand flights of steps at the front and back, as well as loggias (balconies or entrance porches) on three sides of the villa. Today, Villa Monticello is owned by Marzia Vanelli Dazzi, who lives there with her husband and children.

This blog is about people: their social life, their religion, their political opinion, in Turkey, Greece, Italy, Armenia, Dubai and elsewhere. We, the authors are polyglots. We used to live in several countries and speak several languages. And ended up not in our nation of birth. We are not propagandists, we believe in honest and open discussions. Therefore, we welcome critical opinions, advice and are curious about our readers, so leave a note, comment or advice.
