“Finally, one day (on the computer), I entered “Farmhouses in Tuscany” and up popped Casa di Vignolo in Pergine Valdarno. I scanned the images of the little round piazza and realized we were home! From the minute we stepped across the threshold, and every visit since, I walk into “our” house with “our’’ kitchen, and ‘‘our’’ fireplace. It is such an old friend and makes us feel we have been there forever”.
