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.

Roberto Ortu
One of the most talented youngsters on the Italian scene, Roberto's main gig is as Creative Director in Milan. An all-around visionary, he also shoots videos, art directs and generally helps various projects find their visual footing. Having followed the exact opposite trajectory from us (from small-town Sardinia to the metropolitan world of art, fashion and design), Roberto was immediately willing and able to take the art direction of Pretziada in hand. From that day, our confused creative howl has been sleekly transformed into a simple, beautiful, clean vision so we can concentrate on curating the details.
