This winter I finally began a project that had lived in my mind for years: creating a garden at Poggio Bacoca. A windswept hilltop, endless views, heavy clay soil, little water — and the desire to shape something slowly, by hand, without forcing the land. Thoughts on gardening, patience, and letting a place grow in its own time.

Durante una vacanza in Val d’Orcia, questa coppia ha scoperto il Rigo e ne è rimasta incantata. Anni dopo, quel luogo magico è diventato il cuore del loro matrimonio: un weekend di festa tra natura, affetti, sapori autentici e dettagli fatti a mano. Ecco il racconto emozionante della sposa.
In the heart of Val d'Orcia, where golden hills meet timeless charm, two artists gathered their closest loved ones to celebrate a decade of love. Drawn to the soul of Il Rigo and the quiet poetry of the Tuscan countryside, they created a wedding rooted in beauty, simplicity, and deep connection. From handmade details to shared tears over a piano concerto, it was more than a celebration — it was a meeting of artistic souls.
