Features
Main Path:
Sculptures and installations along the primary route that depict historical methods and cultural values of olive oil production.
Central “Sacred Space” Meadow:
Houses a symbolic sculpture of a broken farmer:
Represents the dying tradition being metaphorically “returned to the land.”
Despite its significance to Tuscan culture, the tradition of olive oil production is fading due to:
Climate change
New ideologies
Capitalistic influence
Our Objective
Educate users about traditional olive oil production through immersive artistic elements.
