The Perfect Union
Every year in the coldest weeks of the winter season, strange sculptures begin to appear in the fields all over the island. It is the moment for grafting.
Wild olive trees grow throughout the island and they produce perfectly tiny olives with a thin and bitter skin. However, though the oil from wild olives is supposedly superior to that of domesticated varieties, the yield is much, much lower. And so the grafting game begins.

Falegnameria Pisu
Falegnameria Pisu is one of those great stories of a family business that started with a man in a basement and has now expanded to include his three sons and two separate workshops. The brothers Matteo, Alessandro e Nicola, now run an extensive woodworking operation in which they handle every aspect of construction. Tellingly, they have kept the basement, which is where they still create all of the manual details and finishes.
