Hardly makes sense, does it?
Well, what you are looking at is the ex-fireplace destined to become a kitchen for the Upstairs Apartment. I had to see... in physical terms & not virtual ones... what it would be like to put a small cook-top and a sink in the space between those two old stone brackets and live to tell the story. And you know, I think there IS enough distance to get them in AND avoid head injuries. Though the brackets are old and, perhaps, a bit brittle, the head would loose in any confrontation. Seems OK.

Now, I am NOT going to run in one of those massive American cook-tops with jet-burners stolen from a Boeing 747. Certainly not. All I need is a stainless-steel box to set on the counter with two burners... one for the water and the other for the sauce for a piping hot plate of pasta at Noon. And, the sink does not have to have the dimensions to float a boat in. Absolutely not. A 50 cm square one deep enough to fully emerge a crusty pasta pot in hot water to soak will due perfectly & nicely too.
The Under-the-counter Business will be fine too. The distance from bracket to bracket is 205 cm. That will roughly be the counter length. Divide that 205 figure by 60 cm (the width of a modest domestic appliance in Italy) comes to 3 and .41666667 as left-over. Tut-tut for that. I can get a 60 cm refrigerator with a micro freezer & two 60 cm cupboards and use that tut-tut for hidden storage space. How about that?
I believe it is A Kitchen GO!!! Gads.
