| L'Uliveto Di Egle |
L’Uliveto di Egle, like the red thread of Louis Malle, unites people and their destinies.
Egle, mother and daughter of those who have imagined this reality, is the guiding thread of two generations compared, the past world steeped in ancient tradition and a future world that wants to deal with progress and innovation. L’Uliveto di Egle, like the Arcadia of the poets, becomes the locus where farmers and young entrepreneurs meet and exchange knowledge, notions, experiences, stories, where methods no longer compliant, leave room for new ideas, new ways to do. At the base, the idea of creating a cluster that converges into a single enterprise. L’Uliveto di Egle becomes an element of centrality and attractiveness aimed at small owners and direct growers, so as to coordinate their activities, also improving the product, in a territory characterized by small plots of land.

The oil mill, with its idea of aggregation, makes the benefits derived from direct cultivation, no longer individual but collective, more advantageous. The project, funded in part by the European Community, offers an infrastructure (company oil mill), a cultivation method (imposed protocol, organic farming) and a milling technique (cold) in order to facilitate users. The latter, therefore, can choose whether to directly cultivate their properties along the line of “L’Uliveto di Egle” or to entrust this to the cultivation of their own fund. The architectural quality wants to be the mirror of the quality of the idea first and of the product after. The architectural work resting on the west bank of the valley of the Eleuterio thus becomes a means of reading the landscape itself.
