Cuneo county:
the villages on the hills, once inhabited by poor peasants,
and abandoned for going to Turin,
are today the destination of a food and wine tourism.
After years of research and escapes from the city,
the interior designer, Andrea Codebo,
succeeded in finding a big country house from the 18th century,
which he renovated completely.
The house is one building 25 meters long,
the entrance is from the road to the village.
From the colored façade you don't imagine the materials used inside,
where sometimes the stone is left visible.
Another building is added on the rear of the house.
There is another house,
I call it an outhouse,
because it was used for parking tractors,
to keep the machines for the agriculture.

The rear of the house has a different style:
a hay loft and the second house frame a garden with a swimming-pool.
The outhouse is a detached house.
It has its own kitchen and bathrooms.
This house is a stand-alone building,
with 7 bedrooms on the first floor.
How is the house furnished?
To furnish a house is not simple.
Sometimes the furniture is too big for the space.
Maybe the color you used is wrong and you change it.
This house doesn't have high value pieces:
I often use trunks,
I find them beautiful as furniture;
obviously, they are different in style and age,
and made with different materials:
iron, wood, cardboard or leather.
And then I use suitcases.
