The Olive Tree and the Baobab (2024)
The baobabs of Africa and the olive trees of Southern Italy: what connects these two great trees, both parts of such distant worlds and cultures? An ancestral symbiosis has kept them intertwined with humanity and history for millennia; a fabric of religious beliefs and legends keeps them at the center of ancient symbols and rituals. Their fruits’ richness and the thousands of uses that communities have been able to find in the shadow of their mighty branches make them precious and irreplaceable. Today, even their suffering and their progressive decay unite them tragically, both victims of climate change caused by those who have always fed on them.
