<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a contact in Italy that would love to do

Italy. Here my story, what's yours? If it comes to specifics, lets discuss it

<DIV><SPAN class=960530110-22092002><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>If
the potential site is as promising as it seems to be, I will apply for a
building permit. I don't know how long this will take in Berlusconis country.
Maybe rather quick if his tv company will be involved.

<DIV><SPAN class=960530110-22092002><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>As
far as I know there is no official sb-construction in Italy so far. About in
1997-98 friends from Rotterdam who once joined the workshop in Swalmen
(Harald Wedig + me) built a beautiful metamorph art structure near a
lake in Umbria. Art does not need a building permit, don't
it?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=960530110-22092002><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>End
of October I hope to be able to tell you if this project is going to
be realised and hopefully when. It will be on a large rural site (a ruine
of a farmhouse, a sheep stable, a well and no electricity). If it will be
realised, we will offer a workshop. There are already 2 persons interested,
which live nearby. If it comes to the preparations I will contact a school of
architecture in Northern Italy to offer theoretical and practical experience.
We will see.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=960530110-22092002><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>The
potential site is situated near Ceva, about an hour driving to the hills
north from Savona at the coast of North-West Italy. A friend of
us has settled nearby recently. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
