Casa di Monterubbiano: the Italian job
Sometimes it is tough being an architect: having to journey to Le Marche in Italy to look at a site – client briefings on the beach at the local fish restaurant over a glass or two of Pecorino wine, driving around winding roads up to sleepy drop dead gorgeous hill towns in hired Fiat Pandas wishing you were Stirling Moss in the 1955 Mille Miglia.
Hey – someone has to do it!
PS:
2012: London to Monterubbianno, 1093 miles by Ryan Air
1955: Mille Miglia, 1000 miles, Stirling Moss, 97.9mph, 10 hours, 7 minutes and 48 seconds by Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR .
I know which way I would rather have done the journey – stuff priority booking!
