Rachael Ray's Italian Dream Home
Rachael Ray’s dream since childhood has been to own a villa in Tuscany. Now that dream is about to become a reality … well, hopefully.

This massive structure has been long abandoned, and the entire place is in desperate need of a full structural overhaul and decorative redesign.
