Olive tree
Olive trees (Albero di ulivo) grow throughout Italy, and are an important element of the identity of the land to which they belong. The shape itself looks like roots emerging from the earth and becoming a tree. The forging and corrosion of this sculpture – made of oxidised iron – give the idea of ancient forms and the ability to adapt to all environmental conditions. Together with its leaves, it has always been a symbol of peace.
