After three thousand years, the "Patriarch" of Aspromonte takes root in Puglia. It is a monumental olive tree, saved from the risk of felling, that will reach Gravina in Puglia, in the province of Bari to become the heart of the "Raguso Lab Experience" Museum of Oils. Moved to Emilia Romagna in 2005, the tree resisted for nearly two decades away from its homeland. Now, thanks to entrepreneur Antonio Raguso, it will come back to life in an urban olive grove, a symbol of rebirth for a territory affected by the Xylella bacteria. Its arrival will be accompanied by a "time capsule" with students' thoughts, to be reopened in 50 years. A bridge between past and future, a reminder of the importance of biodiversity and oil culture.
