UNDER THE OLIVE TREES OF PETRIGNANUM

Cristina, farm

Cristina opens the doors of her Petrignanum for a walk in the olive grove and in the vegetable garden surrounding the property, narrating the history and agricultural traditions of her ancestors and describing the current agronomic techniques for the processing of olives. After, a tasty guided tour to the discovery of the qualities of extra virgin olive oil will be carried out. At the end of the experience, there will be a snack with oil bread and vegetables from the garden. Cristina welcomes her visitors with an “ancient” hospitality, among the flowers, dogs and cats living on her little paradise where you will immediately feel at ease. You will appreciate the calm of this place, the tools left around in the olive grove, the oil canteen and the covered terrace where you may have a snack and taste the oil with the guide of Cristina.

YOUR ARTWORK MADE IN TUSCIA

Cinzia, ceramist

Cinzia will guide you through the various technical steps needed to get a final product, starting from the choice of a design and relative historical period that relates to it. For example, the thirteenth century feature green copper and manganese brown decorations, Saffron decorations, gray relief decoration and for the most skilled a realization of an Arul of Faul. After this you’ll have to transfer the chosen design by first dusting the support - plate or fragment of local stone called "Peperino"- in order to start painting with mineral oxides. After the painting phase the piece will be glazed and fired. At this point, you can choose to have your artwork shipped to your home (add shipping cost) or take it with you after two days.
