GREVE IN CHIANTI, ITALY: Catch a glimpse of ‘Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano’ stars, Dave and Jenny Marrs as they take on the enchanting challenge of renovating a century-old villa in Italy. 

In 2019 HGTV approached them with the idea for a show after catching wind of their business and their dedication to restoring homes in their small-town community.

Jenny even confessed that she thought it was a joke when HGTV initially approached them during Season 1 of ‘Fixer to Fabulous’.

Since then, the Marrs Family has won over viewers with their impressive renovation talents and heartwarming family vibe.

The couple is investing their life savings to transform the aged villa into a delightful vacation rental. Demolition kicks off, but the Marrs face challenges like a surprise snowstorm, permit delays, and building restrictions.

Apart from their successful TV careers, Dave and Jenny Marrs also have a booming renovation business, Marrs Developing which is located in Bentonville, Arkansas.
