hello, I am the founder of blog contributiregione.it (Government Grants) Today I find myself in the company of two
guys who
we can interview directly: Ashley and Jason Bartner
hello hello
because they are protagonists of their adventure in Italy
why did you decide to leave New York and come to Italy?! This is the question that
all ask me
for a life
more nice
more quiet
after 10 years at new york
it was too
stressing ,and we want to eat better
the reason why they chose Italy among the many countries
in Europe
why italy?!
especially the people and the food
however, I asked them if there had been an anecdote that reminded
on people because at the end maybe they are the people who have
let them live in italy in italiy. what was the episode?
we had blocked the main road in
a small town
with my car
i didn't know what to do
but
all people
have come to help us
to move the car
and after we got coffee together at home
I'm a foreigner
in this small town
and no one knew you before
for us, maybe because we are young
it is true we are foreigners
but we never heard of being foreign
it is always
like a family
at home
people always invites you to his house
the people are very open
this was not in New York?
no
it is very different
we lived in a apartment for 8 years
but we never knew our tenants
who were the other floors
it was an apartment in a building of 8 apartments
we must compliment you because
changing your life and going to manage a farm house
dispersed in the hills
in the mountains
near
of the mountains
I tell you the truth I was very anxiety for you because it was not
easy to begin
also because the first two years of the adventure I have been really depressed
for both of you
because there were no customers and you had to realize your dream that was not
that of the normal customers who was to do with rent to take
rent a room and spend a few day in a farm house
but you had a bigger project which was
in few terms
We did a cooking school in the farm house
italian cooking school
in italiy?!
yes, with an amercian
I learned Italian cooking
of our region slowly
and
and
i ask yes for everything
if there is a family of 4 people who want to go for a dinner = i accept
there's a guy who wants to go around San Marino and wants to stay with us for one night = i accept
and slowly
one step at the time
however, because you had to do a little '
Built but then after the second year have begun to select
what is Your typical customer
Our clients are mainly
hahaha especially foreigners from united states of canada australia
and english
wich caracteristic has this foreign customer
-ok
the characteristic is
that he wants to eat well and wants to go on a farm house for food
the food and also to experience and as he said fabio
our farmhouse is isolated
and it is a place where there's no one around
Our guests are in need of an English speaker
and italian speaker
otherwise
they are lost
totaly
ok so you have the foreigner that wants to spend a nice relaxing holiday
but also a half of the clientele that want to do the cooking courses
sure, we are talking about this type of client
because I think there is a
culture of a country through the kitchen
and when they are on vacation, they are more open
to do this experience
what are the typical dishes that you do cook by foreigners? I do
the local dishes: tagliatelle
sauce in so many ways
ravioli
pizza baked in wood
all dishes tf the region
then you use ingredients season?! yes
which is reaction of these people when they
finish the course ?
their feed-back
the course is easy?! it is good?! what do they think about
they are happy?! yes
they come back?! yes. but after how long
1 year
which the percentage?!
10%-20%
they come back from united states of america!!!
In fact, what is your strong point
