    lunch with Luciano and Terri, Luciano's mother in Ricca
                                                                                                                                                          












    My apartment is below and is huge with a large front room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and storage room.  It is completely furnished and was where Luciano's grandfather lived.  The apartments are part of a u-shaped building housing also the coffee roasting company.  The whole complex is open through an electric gate.
