GIORGIO ROMOLI,was born in Florence in 1923, painter and poet, eclectic character, in 1967 takes refuge in a desert Punta Ala where a friend lends him a hut on the beach; Giorgio cooks well and often all the local fishermen gather around him.
"La Baracca", (The Hut), becomes a famous restaurant, gathering of artists and V.I.P.s, together with hippies and coal men.
Also the "Bottega di Giorgio Romoli" becomes famous, where all his friends', silversmiths' and creative people's artworks, are collected. So Giorgio keeps on living in this little paradise.
The harbour gets bigger around him but he keeps on walking around barefeet, with no tee-shirt on and with his hands dirty of the colors of the many portraits and paintings that he uses to do when people ask him.
In his eyes he keeps many and fabulous sunsets, in his heart all the people that remember him like all his sons, brothers, parents...all real friends.
