Development and Dissemination of Sustainable Irrigation Management in Olive Growing

Did you really think that in times like ours, dominated by ethical relativism, there could be no contamination between creatures of different species? Cartoonist Valerio Marini will show you how this is possible, in an original and intriguing series of pictures on this subject.

The 2015 edition of Simei, the leading international trade fair for wine technology, ended last Friday in a climate of general enthusiasm. The keys to the success of the event include the high quality of the innovative technological solutions, the discussion among the world's most important stakeholders on crucial issues such as sustainability and sensory analysis and the revolution of the layout and the side events organised by the Unione Italiana Vini (the organiser of Simei since the first 1963 edition) to foster constant opportunities for contacts and relations.

The olive tree has always been associated with Umbria and the beauty of its landscapes, its traditional methods of production, its centuries-old religious and cultural traditions as well as with a healthy lifestyle. Olive oil and the extraordinary evocation of these messages will be promoted by the Umbria PDO Oil Consortium

Milan, 3-6 November 2015. Every day themed focuses on vineyard, wine, beer and oil. Simei proposes itself more and more as a platform of cross-cutting contents which accompanies and integrates the exhibition of the best technology in the sector               

The workshop devoted to building the “nests” that won the Nidificare i Paduli (i.e. Nesting in the Paduli park) contest was a truly unforgettable experience. Enclosed is a gallery of the pictures taken during those days.
