"I dig with a pickaxe and make a cave in which I keep my wines. Among other elements, Santorini's soil contains pumice stone. The pickaxe I use is slightly different than the standard ones; it was specially made by a Roma blacksmith.

The day before yesterday the temperature in my concrete garage was 29 degrees Celsius while in the cave it was only 19".
Venice is not adorned at Christmas in an exaggerated manner; only a few simple touches that give the mark of saintly days.

He was impressed by my prideful answer, and from that moment on he became a costumer and a friend of mine”.
