Born and bread in Italy, Marta moved to the United States in 2005. Santo Stefano is the place where she spent her summer vacations to visit her grandparents. She has fond memories of exploring the Borgo with her cousins, hiking the surrounding hills and riding horses throughout the valley. Her desire was always to have a place to return to and recreate the feeling of tranquillity and connection with such natural and historic beauty.

Santo Stefano di Sessanio is a 16th century village on the edge of the Campo Imperatore plain in the Gran Sasso National Park. The "borgo" is listed as one of Italy's most beautiful hamlet and it's truly an architectural delight with its archways, cobbled streets, Medici square, narrow alleys and stone houses, many dating back to the 15th century. Six miles from the ancient Roman Peltinum (hence the ‘Sessanio’ part), and a strategic crossroads for the commercial route between Rome and the Adriatic coast at the height of the Roman Empire, Santo Stefano flourished under the Medicis in the 16th century. Agriculture became the major factor in the economic development of the area, with the process of transhumance being utilized to take advantage of the region’s geography. ​The village now boasts many splendid shops where one can purchase locally produced honey and jam, salamis, and pecorinos, as well as the region’s famous lentils. Local food prepared to traditional recipes is available from a few local restaurants
