THE ITALIAN SHUTTER…
Shutters have always invoked such a romantic notion in my mind- Maybe it’s all the movies of women pushing them open to the morning daylight, leaning out to smile and announce “Buongiorno”!
Trust me, I have these fantasy moments played out over the last year while in Todi.
But as living in Umbria for the last year has proven, shutters are an integral part of the Italian lifestyle.
Not just decoration. Italians use them for security, airflow, protection from the punishing heat, lighting within the Palazzo and noise control. It’s a delicate dance throughout the day of how, when, which degree/angle and open or closed. It’s a true relationship to house, owner and life experience.
This has just deepened my passion for them.
And today .todi we received our new olive shutters.
We are in love and can’t wait to throw them open, lean out and welcome you to Nido di Gufi during your stay with us.
