As Mirella restores the villa and becomes entwined with local Italian life, old love letters lead her to a secret that has been guarded for generations.

In 1939, young net weaver Sofia dreams of escape-and of forbidden love with Danilo, the factory director's son. But when war breaks out, everything changes, and Sofia is left to navigate a life not of her own choosing. The decisions she makes will haunt her forever.

Decades later, Mirella wonders if she can unravel the closely guarded family secret, or if it will remain hidden for good.

Set among olive groves and vineyards, "Palazzo Puro" is a moving tale of love, friendship, betrayal, and heart-wrenching choices in the heart of Italy.

MIRELLA ROSA, together with her husband Roger and their son Max, bought the Italian villa Palazzo Puro. While waiting for the renovation permit, they cleaned the house and discovered a collection of old letters. They are now restoring the palazzo and sharing their journey online via @renovationpalazzopuro.
