Christine and Her Husband Andrea Want to Raise Their Son in the Countryside Outside of Bologna, Italy

Christine is an American who followed her husband Andrea to his hometown of Bologna, Italy, when he started a new job as the director of a student exchange program at the University of Bologna. While they love living in Italy, they don't want to raise their 5-year-old son, Ray, in a small apartment in the city and are looking for a house in the hills near Bologna. With a budget of $710,000, they are in sync on their needs with one exception. As an American, Christine wants a home with some history. Andrea wants a home that is functional and doesn't need any work at all. Their agent, Grazia Lanzoni, is up for the challenge.
