The Foundation features six unique flats, positioned at the top of Montenero’s 'staircased' town. Many of these homes have been thoughtfully renovated to enhance both comfort and design, with every detail handcrafted by Giancarlo and his team. Giancarlo, a skilled bespoke woodworker and craftsman, has poured care and artistry into each space. The ongoing upkeep and renovations are made possible through rental income and the generous support of Giuseppe Mascoli, son of Frenkiel & Ponti.
