We feel prepared to face the reality of restoration. We walk into town for coffee and telephone Piero Rizzatti, the geometra. The translations draftsman or surveyor don't quite explain what a geometra is, a professional without an equivalent in the United States-a liaison among owner, builders, and town planning officials. Ian has assured us that he is the best in the area, meaning also that he has the best connections and can get the permits quickly.
The characters in "Under the Tuscan Sun" express their readiness to tackle the challenges of restoring their new home. They venture into town for coffee and take the opportunity to contact Piero Rizzatti, a geometra. This professional plays a crucial role in navigating the complexities of construction and town planning, serving as a bridge between owners, builders, and local authorities. His expertise and connections are considered invaluable for expediting the necessary permits for their project.
Ian, a mutual acquaintance, has recommended Piero highly, highlighting his reputation as the best geometra in the area. The characters feel reassured by this endorsement, recognizing that having someone with Piero's skills and relationships will significantly simplify their restoration process. This collaboration suggests a blend of hope and practical planning as they embark on their journey of renovation in Tuscany.
