The Builder is the guy in the center of the photo. He is surrounded by his work-guys.
This is what I know of His Story... and from his own lips too...
...he is a young man from the eastern coast of the island of Sardinia. If you have never been to Sardinia, let me recommend it to you. Think the natural beauty of California without the mess of -ornication.
...he is a mighty good cook, specializing in barbecue boar. Is that a surprise? The Builder goes a' huntin' every Wednesday & Sunday, the only two days of the week you can hunt in season. I can't call him on those days. The Builder, before he was A Builder, came & bought a restaurant in Bagnone, a quaint & pristine Medieval village perched on a hill in the neighborhood of Villa Franca in Lunigiana, that place several valleys & a river away from Codiponte.
...he met, fell in love & married a local girl. She was not restaurant material!!! However, his father-in-law owned a construction company.
...The Math here said... he went to work for his father-in-law, and thus, became The Builder.
Now, let me speak the praises of The Builder, if I may...
...he solves problems... they pop-up all the time too.
...he makes suggestions... this is of Great Relief to me. lightening My Work-load.
...he does his work without complication... something I have not yet learned how to do.
...he's fast... but then, he does have all those work-guys to help.
...he's expensive... though he doesn't think he is... dammit.
and...
...he's saved il Poggiolo from caving in & me from saying bye-bye to the bucks sunk-in to buy & rebuild the place!!!
Oh! And he lives outside Soliera, that other place a couple of valleys away from Codiponte.
