We have chosen to name our project Korenine / Radici to underline some key aspects that we want to pursue: the enhancement of a territory in its history and traditions, the Municipality of Dolina / San Dorligo and the hamlet of Aquilinia; the aspect of the value of ecological sustainability expressed by the productive realities of the Karst and their possible encounter with art. The path will open with a meditation, led by Enza De Rose, and will continue immersed in the sounds of nature and the words of the Slovenian artist Marko Pogaćnik. The experience will continue with an itinerant walk among the olive groves, by Elena Husu.

The Lenardon family has been producing extra virgin olive oil and native wines for over 100 years. In 1929, a severe frost destroyed all the trees; from the remaining stumps, shoots grew, which grandfather tended with skill and passion, resulting in new trees that are now over 90 years old. With the establishment of borders after World War II, the only olive mill remained in Yugoslavia, and to continue producing oil, they had to travel to Bassano del Grappa to press the olives, as it was the closest mill in Italy. Now, the olives are pressed at the San Dorligo della Valle mill, which, thanks to modern methods, guarantees the preservation of all the olives' organoleptic qualities.

Behind us is Mount Carso and the Rosandra Valley . In front, the sea. Our vineyards and olive groves are located on the last sandstone-marble hill overlooking the Gulf of Trieste. The salty air is accompanied by the Bora wind, which sometimes caresses, other times stings. The sea and wind certainly help us care for the plants, naturally reducing fungi and diseases. This is the Breg, our land, between the Karst, Istria, and the Adriatic Sea. It's the place where we've decided to invest our lives. We've lived in the family home for at least 400 years. Without needing to move it, it has passed through five countries: Austria, the Kingdom of Italy, the Free Territory of Trieste, and the Italian Republic. Always Slovenian, we've spoken at least three languages for over five generations.
