OUR MIGRATION TO ASSISI

So we settled in Assisi in March of 2004. Within days of arriving in Italy, we learned that Matteo would soon be joining us in the following October so we had lots of preparation to do. As our international health insurance would not cover a pregnancy within the first 12 months, we were pretty much resigned to having to foot the bill ourselves... What can you do?

Housing in Italy was first priority and we soon found the perfect place on Via San Benedetto. Apparently somebody built a tower about 800 years ago and then between then and now some else built another tower next to it. In the 1900s, the Cardelli family bought the towers and in the 1970's the top portion was expanded and modernised.
