Well, the prelims of Phase 2 have begun. After extensive negotiations with the Comune, and even more extensive negotiations with Sig.ra Anna who runs the park next door, we finally have the permits and permissions to borrow a piece of the garden this summer for our construction site. The below picture shows the entrance we have created in the park wall for our trucks, and the bottom picture shows the cordon/fence that we built to shield the park goers from the construction work (we opted for green instead of the standard orange or red--Sig.ra Anna won't allow any red in her park).
