Grezzana

Garda Lake

Nestled among the morainic hills surrounding Lake Garda, in Lazise, Natiia is a place where wine and oil tourism meets the culture of the land, creating an authentic and immersive experience. More than just a winery or a Relais, Natiia is an ecosystem of ten hectares of vineyards, olive groves and vegetable gardens cultivated according to the principles of regenerative agriculture: a laboratory of sustainability and hospitality where every experience becomes a discovery and a connection with nature. At the heart of the project is Villa Bottona, an 18th-century estate where organic wines are produced – from Chiaretto di Bardolino DOC to native grape varieties – and Garda Orientale DOP extra virgin olive oil is obtained from historic olive groves. Guided tours and tastings take guests on a sensory journey that invites them to slow down, observe and understand the deep connection between the product, the landscape and rural culture. Natiia is a place to be experienced slowly, where wine and oil become an authentic expression of the Garda region.

Trieste

Acharming border town, Trieste’s calling card is the spectacular Piazza Unità, a veritable city salon overlooking the sea, with outdoor tables at a well-known historic café. Worth visiting and experiencing in its everyday life, Trieste reveals its deepest soul in its oldest streets, in the markets behind the square, and in the history of its most iconic places, such as the Cathedral of San Giusto and the nearby Miramare Castle. The Austro-Hungarian influence is visible everywhere, even in the cuisine of land and sea, typical of the local tradition but also open to new ideas, as befits a border town. Trieste is also its Karst, a territory rich in surprising scenery, excellent wines and unique locations, such as Duino with its castle and the poetic Rilke trail.

HARMONIOUS FLAVOURS COMBINING EXQUISITE FISH AND REFINED VEGAN CREATIONS

An expert chef, Nenad has created a sincere and refined cuisine: fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, treated with respect and creativity. At the heart of his interpretations is the highest quality fish, the star of dishes in which memory and contemporaneity coexist between Trieste tradition and delicate fusion incursions. Nenad devotes equal attention to vegan cuisine: carefully prepared, creative and never banal specialities, designed with the sensitivity that guides all his creations. Seasonal vegetables, legumes and oriental aromas give life to light and surprising dishes, capable of expressing another nuance of the territory and its inspiration. Madreperla is an invitation to rediscover true and profound gestures in food, capable of giving pleasure and emotions.

A fantastic area just an hour from the Ligurian Riviera and 45 minutes from the Alps, easily accessible from Northern and Central Europe. Other key factors are rising property values and tax advantages

Villages and hills around Siena

Gentle slopes, enchanting panoramic views that have remained unchanged over time...

This is the Siena area that everyone should know, a magical world that will lead you to discover centuries-old villages, peaceful countryside dotted with olive trees and cypresses, ancient flavours and endless opportunities to relax and be amazed... Must-see stops in the beautiful Val d’Orcia include Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the “ideal city” of the Renaissance thanks to its splendid urban layout, and Castiglione d’Orcia, perched on a hill on the northern slope of Monte Amiata. Also worth seeing are the charming Monteriggioni with its fortified walls and Montalcino, famous for its excellent Brunello wine. Among the most extraordinary places in the area, which can be explored by car but also on foot, on horseback or on your e-bike, don’t miss the Crete Senesi: already the setting for important films such as Gladiator, they were chosen by Jean Paul Philippe for his monumental outdoor contemporary artwork.

A generous land, offering fun, relaxation and curiosity: lively village festivals with stalls selling typical cuisine, exhibitions, shows, art, spas and ancient architectural gems such as the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore and the Abbey of San Galgano, a famous open-air cathedral known for the legendary “sword in the stone”.

In the Val d’Orcia, amid the hills that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage, Podere Forte is a unique place where nature and technology harmonize perfectly. Here, one listens to the earth, and every gesture of the farmers is part of a living, biodynamically shaped culture.

A visit, from the vineyard to the cellar, is an opportunity to slow down, to “feel” and to understand. Podere Forte is much more than a farm: it is a place where nature becomes a story and knowledge is pure emotion.

HUMILIS MADE IN ASSISI

JEWELLERY INSPIRED BY SAINT FRANCIS, PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF A JOURNEY OF ART AND FAITH

The Humilis Made in Assisi project was conceived in 2004 by Fausto Baldini, who followed in his family’s footsteps and inherited their goldsmithing expertise in Assisi since 1973. Inspired by the simplicity and authenticity of the places associated with St Francis, he decided to create a line of jewellery dedicated to the saint and characterised by the TAU, the Franciscan cross symbolising salvation. His high-quality jewellery, made of gold or silver and constantly improved thanks to daily research into innovative production techniques, has been widely acclaimed in Italy and internationally since its inception.

Today, Humilis Made in Assisi’s precious masterpieces can be found not only in the Umbrian city but also in prestigious boutiques in Florence, Rome, Venice and Lake Como, where you can discover exclusive creations dedicated to the cities that host them, true artistic tributes that enhance the memory of a journey of art and faith.
