"The project wants to enhance the main character of the site, reinforcing its biodiversity value and at the same time interconnecting local inhabitants and places. We see the olive orchards as an incredible opportunity: an open-air museum, where farmers and the local community invite people to explore, experience and learn. The diversification of tourism will develop a year-round program, with a system of activities that emphasizes the local identity, forming the foundation for sustainable and multifunctional use of the territory."
