Obviously at the moment she is very busy with the baby, therefore she has asked me and my husband to manage her B&amp;B, &#8216;Ai Chiosi&#8217;. So a couple of days ago we packed our suitcases and moved down to the valley.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\"><em>Ai Chiosi<\/em> was once the farm complex belonging to the &#8216;Villa Dosi&#8217;, a large 17th century villa, framed by two majestic Lebanon Cedars, which is located on the northern periphery of Pontremoli. The farm building and a bit of land were acquired in 1929 by Adriana&#8217;s <strong>bisnonna <\/strong>(great-grandmother) who had emigrated to England, and invested the money she earned in various properties around Pontremoli. <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\">In 2001 Adriana&#8217;s family decided to open the farmhouse as a Bed and Breakfast, and since then they have gradually expanded the business, converting <strong>il vecchio fienile<\/strong> (the old barn) into three en-suite bedrooms and <strong>un piccolo appartamento indipendente <\/strong>(a small self-contained apartment). <strong>Aspettate un attimo, ch\u00e9 c&#8217;\u00e8 qualcuno alla porta&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/strong> (wait a moment, there&#8217;s someone at the door)&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Scusate l&#8217;interruzione, ma c&#8217;era un&#8217;emergenza! <\/strong>(Sorry about the interruption, but there was an emergency!) One of the girls who&#8217;s staying here tonight knocked frantically on our door saying: <strong>&quot;Scusate il disturbo, ma le devo chiedere un grande piacere: c&#8217;\u00e8 una bestia enorme in camera nostra! Non so che cos&#8217;\u00e8, ma ha mille zampe, e siamo troppo paurose per schiacciarlo!<\/strong> (Excuse the inconvenience, but I have to ask you a big favor: there is an enormous beast in our bedroom! I don&#8217;t know what it is, but it has got thousands of legs, and we are too scared to squash it!) So Geoff gallantly entered their room, armed with just a dustpan and brush, to save the maidens from the savage beast, which turned out to be <strong>un centopiedi mediterraneo <\/strong>(a Mediterranean centipede) all of three centimeters long! Geoff successfully evicted the uninvited guest from the window (he always tries not to harm animals, and spends hours maneuvering insects out of the way, even scorpions).<\/font><\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\" width=\"520\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"260\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Allora, visto che staremo qui al B&amp;B per un po&#8217; di tempo, i prossimi blogs arriveranno dal vivo da &#8216;I Chiosi&#8217;, un posto bellissimo e tranquillo, immerso nel verde, a due passi dal centro storico di Pontremoli. <\/strong><\/font><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"260\"><font size=\"2\">Well then, since we will be staying down here at the B&amp;B for a while, the next blogs will arrive live from &#8216;I Chiosi&#8217;, a beautiful, tranquil place, surrounded by trees and fields, just a short walk from Pontremoli&#8217;s historical center. <\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"2\">If you want to find out more about &#8216;Ai Chiosi&#8217;, you can visit this site: <a title=\"http:\/\/www.aichiosi.it\/Default.asp?pg=3&amp;fz=\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aichiosi.it\/Default.asp?pg=3&amp;fz=\">Ai Chiosi<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benvenuti Ai Chiosi Due mesi fa la nostra amica Adriana, che possiede un Bed and Breakfast qui a Pontremoli, ha dato alla luce un bel bimbo.
