In the hilly landscape around Villacidro, nestled between granite rocks and scrubland, grow olive trees several centuries old. Their gnarled trunks and twisted branches speak of wind, drought, and the patience of the earth. This tree has likely been here since the 16th or 17th century – planted by farmers who relied on olive oil for their livelihood.
Villacidro was once an important agricultural center in southern Sardinia. Even today, old terraces, dry stone walls, and abandoned oil mills characterize the landscape. Many of the trees continue to bear fruit – slowly but steadily.
