  • ROME, ITALY - 15 JULY 2015: A woman walking in the garden of Villa Torlonia is seen from the Casino Nobile of Villa Torlonia, Rome, Italy, on July 15th 2015.<br />
<br />
Villa Torlonia is a villa and surrounding gardens formerly belonging to the Torlonia family, a Roman noble family who acquired a huge fortune in the 18th and 19th centuries through administering the finances of the Vatican. In 1925 the Villa was given to Mussolini as a residence, where he remained until 1943, with few changes to the aboveground structures. Between 1942 and 1943 an air-raid shelter was first built in the garden of the villa, and then a much larger and more complex airtight bunker was built under the villa itself, with the intention of resisting both aerial bombardment and chemical warfare.

  • ROME, ITALY - 15 JULY 2015: The Gothic Room in Villa Torlonia, Rome, Italy, on July 15th 2015.<br />
<br />
Villa Torlonia is a villa and surrounding gardens formerly belonging to the Torlonia family, a Roman noble family who acquired a huge fortune in the 18th and 19th centuries through administering the finances of the Vatican. In 1925 the Villa was given to Mussolini as a residence, where he remained until 1943, with few changes to the aboveground structures. Between 1942 and 1943 an air-raid shelter was first built in the garden of the villa, and then a much larger and more complex airtight bunker was built under the villa itself, with the intention of resisting both aerial bombardment and chemical warfare.

<br />
Villa Romana won the highest possible accolade—three green leaves, denoting absolute excellence—in the prestigious Gambero Rosso guidebook to the best olive oils in Italy. The Villa Romana is pressed from a cultivar, or variety, of olive that was unknown to modern science until 2016<br />
<br />
<br />
Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, is an odd micro-biome of Mediterranean olive-oil culture in the midst of frost-prone, butter-oriented Lombardy. Though its northern extreme is at the same latitude as Fargo, North Dakota, Garda’s shores are girded by lemon and palm trees, as well as olive orchards, which climb the hillsides that surround the lake to heights of 1,500 feet. Lake Garda, overlooked by the Dolomites, snowcapped in early winter, is the northernmost point in the world where olives can be reliably cultivated. Lake Garda, where there is a record of uninterrupted cultivation since the thirteenth century, has a reputation for producing delicate, mild-flavored oils that has pleased more conservative northern European palates since the Renaissance.<br />
In contrast to Spain, France, and Greece, where a few star cultivars dominate production, Italy, with its multiplicity of soils and microclimates, has always been the Amazonian rainforest of olive biodiversity. Every year, the fruit from 179 million trees—three for every man, woman, and child in the nation—is gathered by 825,000 separate cultivators, to be pressed in 4,900 mills. At last count, there were 530 distinct olive varieties in Italy.Villa won the highest possible accolade—three green leaves, denoting absolute excellence—in the prestigious Gambero Rosso guidebook to the best olive oils in Italy.

  • TOSCOLANO MADERNO, ITALY - 28 NOVEMBER 2018:  Sergio Cozzaglio, founder of La Zadruga, harvests the Villa Romana olive variety with a hydraulic wand,  in Toscolano Maderno, a northern village on the western shore of Lake Garda, Italy, on November 28th 2018. <br />
<br />
The hydraulic wand has vibrating fingers that send the fruit tumbling from the branches into mats on the ground. The Villa Romana olive variety is grown amidst the first century AD ruins of the residence of the Nonni Arrii (an upper-class Roman family who lived here).<br />
Villa Romana became  an olive oil produced by La Zadruga (founded by Sergio and his wife Ilaria Galetta). It won the highest possible accolade—three green leaves, denoting absolute excellence—in the prestigious Gambero Rosso guidebook to the best olive oils in Italy.

  • TOSCOLANO MADERNO, ITALY - 28 NOVEMBER 2018:  Sergio Cozzaglio drives his Piaggio Van loaded with harvesting tools in the  Villa Romana olive grove, in Toscolano Maderno, a northern village on the western shore of Lake Garda, Italy, on November 28th 2018.<br />
<br />
The Villa Romana olive variety is grown amidst the first century AD ruins of the residence of the Nonni Arrii (an upper-class Roman family who lived here).<br />
Villa Romana became  an olive oil produced by La Zadruga (founded by Sergio and his wife Ilaria Galetta). It won the highest possible accolade—three green leaves, denoting absolute excellence—in the prestigious Gambero Rosso guidebook to the best olive oils in Italy. The Villa Romana is pressed from a cultivar, or variety, of olive that was unknown to modern science until 2016. <br />
<br />
Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, is an odd micro-biome of Mediterranean olive-oil culture in the midst of frost-prone, butter-oriented Lombardy. Though its northern extreme is at the same latitude as Fargo, North Dakota, Garda’s shores are girded by lemon and palm trees, as well as olive orchards, which climb the hillsides that surround the lake to heights of 1,500 feet. Lake Garda, overlooked by the Dolomites, snowcapped in early winter, is the northernmost point in the world where olives can be reliably cultivated. Lake Garda, where there is a record of uninterrupted cultivation since the thirteenth century, has a reputation for producing delicate, mild-flavored oils that has pleased more conservative northern European palates since the Renaissance.<br />
In contrast to Spain, France, and Greece, where a few star cultivars dominate production, Italy, with its multiplicity of soils and microclimates, has always been the Amazonian rainforest of olive biodiversity. Every year, the fruit from 179 million trees—three for every man, woman, and child in the nation—is gathered by 825,000 separate cultivators, to be pressed in 4,900 mills.

  • TOSCOLANO MADERNO, ITALY - 28 NOVEMBER 2018:  Sergio Cozzaglio, founder of La Zadruga, cuts a Villa Romana olive and opens it with his olivewood-handled Opinel knife,  in Toscolano Maderno, a northern village on the western shore of Lake Garda, Italy, on November 28th 2018. <br />
<br />
Villa Romana is grown amidst the first century AD ruins of the residence of the Nonni Arrii (an upper-class Roman family who lived here). Villa Romana became  an olive oil produced by La Zadruga (founded by Sergio and his wife Ilaria Galetta). It won the highest possible accolade—three green leaves, denoting absolute excellence—in the prestigious Gambero Rosso guidebook to the best olive oils in Italy. The Villa Romana is pressed from a cultivar, or variety, of olive that was unknown to modern science until 2016<br />
<br />
Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, is an odd micro-biome of Mediterranean olive-oil culture in the midst of frost-prone, butter-oriented Lombardy. Though its northern extreme is at the same latitude as Fargo, North Dakota, Garda’s shores are girded by lemon and palm trees, as well as olive orchards, which climb the hillsides that surround the lake to heights of 1,500 feet. Lake Garda, overlooked by the Dolomites, snowcapped in early winter, is the northernmost point in the world where olives can be reliably cultivated. Lake Garda, where there is a record of uninterrupted cultivation since the thirteenth century, has a reputation for producing delicate, mild-flavored oils that has pleased more conservative northern European palates since the Renaissance.<br />
In contrast to Spain, France, and Greece, where a few star cultivars dominate production, Italy, with its multiplicity of soils and microclimates, has always been the Amazonian rainforest of olive biodiversity. Every year, the fruit from 179 million trees—three for every man, woman, and child in the nation—is gathered by 825,000 separate cultivators, to be pressed in 4,900 mills.
