Then again in a country where, from North to South, olive oil has played a leading role in our history for over two millenniums, it couldn’t be otherwise.

The suspended olive tree
It is not a museum like most others. In Tuscany, Italy, a new, futuristic concept of a museum has seen the light.

The visitor can even perceive the plant's most intimate emotions.
