the best pictures is the one that I will
take next time my name is Massimo Batali
I am a photographer and this is my place
fridge is full it's always spinner like
a long sort of love story I've been
watching this place for almost 18 years
something like this he was a church but
also a sacred storage and I think I kept
it as it were the most problematic thing
was to get nobody to touch the walls
there are almost no switches around
almost no blocks it gives you some sort
of freedom from the modern world
this sofa I can use it in so many ways
that I always find a way that fits my
mood I can look at the vault the color
of the vault it's something that makes
me very calm and very happy and I really
feel like I sleep under the stars
I would really hear but has become this
sort of exile table this friend of ours
made this special place for us and it
says eat because you will be I choose
not to have photos in the house so
instead of a photograph I have a sign
that says photography I don't like nice
pictures I hate nice pictures to be
above everything it's a bit boring but
if you are above but you can follow
things and you're still part of what
happens down there is exactly what what
I look for when I'm out taking pictures
is my natural habitat
let's put it this way yeah the church
luckily came with the garden which was
used as a car park
I started planting trees this is five
lemons on one on one stem incredible
there's so many things that happen here
this is history
explained better than in a history book
clay the OBD a combat I believe obey
fight was one of the Mussolini phrases
things since I didn't touch anything I
decided to leave it although it's not my
cup of tea it's one one very funny thing
that we found here it's hiding under my
shoes here the people that made this
wall they wrote this wall has been built
on the 27th of October 1853 this is
something that I find very moving and
it's the example of what I'm looking for
on these walls and why I left everything
on the walls
I'm such a bad gardener that I didn't
know there were some peaches there on
this tree but they're very unripe so I
can have a look at them in a month time
you know now that I think how I lived in
the past it seems like it's how did I do
it you know and this is how I always
wanted to live
