They’d always dreamed of owning a home in Italy, but opening a restaurant in the country was never part of the plan. But this North Carolina family did both, after coming across a listing for an apartment in Umbria.
They’d always dreamed of owning a home in Italy, but opening a restaurant there was never part of the plan. But Dalip and Amber Tibb, who are based in North Carolina, have ended up doing both over the last few years. The Tibbs, who’ve been married for 18 years, say their love affair with Italy began almost two decades ago, when they took a trip to Venice in 2006. However, it would be a long while before they could seriously consider the prospect of buying a property in the country.
“Because I think around the ’80s, people were covering up [a lot] of Renaissance architecture.” According to the couple, the renovation process took around a year and a half, and pretty much all of the workers involved, including the craftspeople and the stonemasons, were from the area. “It ended up being even more work than I anticipated,” says Dalip.
