Pino was my dad’s nickname. His real name was Giuseppe Vanini, born and bred in the mountains of Devero. A man of few words and many actions.
He grew up and in poverty and worked really hard to give us a comfortable life. Thanks to all he sacrificed, we could make our house into a B&B to welcome everyone who loves the mountains and living in nature and simplicity.
I also want to remember my mother Pia, always smiling and so hard working, ready to help anyone who needed it.
I remember her picking blueberries or collecting logs, going fishing or taking long walks at sunset on the Devero plain.
It’s thanks to them that Il Pino B&B was born and there will be a pinetree near the house among the larches.
