Finally got a half-day to escape for a tiny adventure in the Garfagnana. This time: the lovely hill town of Sillico. Nothing like dining with a view!

A few of the beautiful wood sculptures created by master craftsman @produzioni_estebanland. Photo 6: a couple of works in progress. Photo 7: the entirely hand built shop where these works were made, essentially entirely with the tools shown in photo 8. Amazing stuff. It was a real delight to spend time with Est in his home, his shop, and his lovely garden. ❤️

Had a lovely dining experience in the beautiful rustic garden of @produzioni_estebanland and forgot to post about it. Beautiful flowers, tasty food, and no extra charge for the chiggers! Have you ever seen artichokes in bloom? Last photo.
