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.

What was your strongest impression of Sardinia?
The moment we remember best was searching for the Sacred Well at Noddule. The water that continued to rise since antiquity. And meanwhile the violent wind and the shining full moon above our heads. We felt like we were inside the elements, and part of an ancient ritual that has been repeated through millennia. The strong connection between humans and nature: that is Sardinia to us.
