Creation in progress
Change in evolution
One of the organic evolutions that the Tuscan paese has undergone is the restructuring of historic abandoned farmsteads into rich holiday flats. The buildings, some no more than a weatherproof out-house used to keep chickens or grain, have been restructured into the most exclusive and envied after places from which to take a break in the region of Tuscany. The switches in the countryside happened for two causes: first due that local farms were incapable to meet the demands for produce from an ever expanding population, and second, that the farmers were incapable to compete on price with the larger and more centralized distribution companies (a similar change took place in the UK with the rise of Supermarkets in the early 1990s, the unique difference being unfortunately that English farmers did not have the same guarantee of sunshine like the Italian’s did, on which to build a future). As the larger processing companies took over mainstream distribution, the Tuscan farmers were left reflecting on how to make ends meet, and Tuscany Villas was born.
