"Many of my clients are well traveled and have other homes in far-flung locations," observes Minchilli. "But I’ve found that what draws them to Europe is the joy of working with a wealth of talented artisans.
Stonemasons, ironmongers, plasterers and carpenters still practice crafts as their ancestors did for centuries. I believe it is this sense of craft and the handmade that is an essential element of choosing to own a home here in Europe. And the relationship with this culture and the people who embody it is certainly one of the joys of any project."
