The first sketch of a swimming pool at Podere Santa Pia, Castiglioncello Bandini, Tuscany

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

[William Shakespeare, The Tempest]

Dreams and stuff… This is the first visualisation of the swimming pool we had in mind for quite a long time.
We mowed the grass, poured a bottle and tried to imagine what it would be like to dive in the cool water on a hot day in May…
We are such stuff as dreams are made on, so this is realy going to happen @poderesantapia…

Podere Santa Pia, dreaming about a pool, something like the beautiful pool of our neighbors, Podere Capraia

Suggestive images of the spot in the lush greenery of Podere Santa Pia



A sudden appearance in the garden	Mobile Working Cabin with an extraordinary view, amongst the cypresses and the lush greenery of Podere Santa Pia	And early in the morning the first workmen arrived

	And as the workmen continued to toil, the land seemed to come alive, and the land was shaped into something new	Their gaze wandered over the rolling hillsides of the Maremma hills, it was a breathtaking experience

The appealing clearness of Podere SantaPia in a mild winter landscape	Olive trees — many of them a century-old — below Podere Santa Pia. In the back Cinigiano	Vista sulla campagna maremmana, paese etrusco

L'Eremo dei Santi presso il Monastero di Siloe su progetto dell'architetto Edoardo Milesi	The sudden appearance of a yard cabin in the garden, nestled amongst the cipreses and the lush greenery of Podere Santa Pia	Un'apparizione improvvisa nel nostro giardino

The beautiful blue reflected in the volcanic stone of Monte Amiata and in our dream
