La storia Continua: For all who dream of Italy

By Dhr Ollivier Trouw

This Tuscany novel is for anyone who has ever dreamed of living in Italy or moving to Italy.

What becomes of life when you abandon the relentless pace of the rat race and choose instead a rhythm attuned to nature? La storia continua carries you to a secluded village in rural Italy, where we embraced the challenges and joys of renovating in Italy, breathing new life into a crumbling ruin and making it our true Tuscan home.

Here, the unhurried cadence of village life in Italy taught me to listen anew: to the whisper of the hills, the pulse of the seasons, and the quiet voice within. This book is an ode to the courage of dreaming, to the gentle art of surrendering certainties, and to the slow, beautiful rediscovery of self in the simplicity of rural existence.

It is a tale that reveals how happiness often lies much closer than we imagine, hidden among the emerald folds and golden light of the morning sun and green of the Tuscan hills. And it is a tale far from its final chapter: the adventure has only just begun. One Italian summer became many, and then it simply became home.
