Il Museo dell'Olivo: 18 rooms, 7,000 years of history

The olive tree is the symbolic tree of Mediterranean culture.
Artists and poets have celebrated and sung its praises; we have enshrined it in the history of our family and dedicated a museum to it which, through precious objects,
valuable archaeological finds and rare working tools, tells a story of art, culture, economy, customs, agriculture, and tradition.
