Description
This is a no profit organization located at the borders of Italy and Europe, in the heart of the Mediterranean.
In a fertile place at the foot of Aspromonte, in a special protected area.
Ancient seat of monks and hermits, it covers an area of 121.50 hectares and covers a difference in height of 250 meters (from 550 to 800 approx.)
It is characterized by centuries-old olive trees, oaks, chestnuts and various fruit trees, and by a prodigious presence of floricultural and medicinal essences.
Equipped with water springs, small waterfalls and an abundant irrigation cover.
It is located near several small towns (Calanna, San Roberto, Borgo Croce, Laganadi, San Peri)
It is home to agricultural and horticultural activities in harmony with nature and will soon be a center for experimentation with revolutionary methods and technologies, as well as cultural and pratical workshop and divulgation activities.
This is permanently inhabited at certain times of the year by those who animate it. And it is maintained and implemented daily by specialized operators.
What is most important to me is personal research, introspection and the encounter with the divine. My whole life is marked by this thirst for knowledge and the place is an emanation of this activity. Fortunately, my wife has delved into several interests that she can make available, such as cooking, baking and manual arts. Music is often present in the various activities organized and we are surrounded by excellent musician friends who often inhabit the place giving magical moments. We got a 2 years old baby
