My family has been living in the small village of Macciano, in Giano dell’Umbria, at least since the beginning of XVI Century.
Basilio Pompilj, vicarial Cardinal, was based there since the first half of the nineteenth Century.
More than 400 acres of land, respected and handled thanks to the precious help of the men and women from Macciano.
Over time, our past has become a passion; the call of the land is strong. Our values are in motion. Actions follow one another. Our olive trees - San Felice, Moraiolo, Frantoio and Leccino - occupy 40 acres, well alternated on the hills; we need olives for oil, now we have four new olive groves, traditional, a well with automated irrigation system, to bring water everywhere. Sustainability is looking ahead with respect for natural and human resources. With a lot of patience.

Macciano’s olive tree represents the highest expression of our history and roots. I can still remember when we guys, taking one another by the hand, used to embrace its trunk, and run round and round it.
We do still embrace it today, when our friends come to Macciano, and we still feel the energy of his embrace.
Today this thousand-year-old olive tree, standing majestic and guiding the younger olive trees, embodies my project. I respect it, I admire it, I take care of it.
As Janus did, the Macciano’s olive tree looks back and forward at the same time.
