The New Grove
In the heart of the Etruscan Necropolis of Monteroni, where the first secrets of Italy’s liquid gold were once preserved, lie 10 hectares of land restored to nature by those who choose to plant and adopt.
The Land
Etruscan roots, Lazio soil
Long before this land was called Lazio, it was Etruria. The hills of Monteroni already cradled the olive tree, which the Etruscans called elaia, and its oil, eleiva: not a simple condiment, but a sacred gift, carried by priestesses in religious rites and burned in sanctuary lamps as a symbol of purity.
To care for the land as custodians, not as owners.
Archaeological finds tell of olive cultivation already active in these lands in the 7th century BC, when the Etruscan and Sabine peoples perfected the earliest harvesting and pressing techniques, drawing on the fertility of volcanic soils. A knowledge that would pass to the Romans, and from them down to us almost unchanged in essence, if refined in method.
In those same years, oil was not merely food: it was a balm for the body, a remedy for health, a fuel that lit the nights. La Bella Oliva was born to continue this story, not to invent a new one. Every tree planted or adopted is a small act of protection of the landscape, of biodiversity, of the memory of a people who lived on this land long before us.
Our Mission
Regenerating the land, without consuming new land
Ten hectares left uncultivated become a living grove — funded entirely by those who plant and adopt, not by new capital or new virgin soil.
Custodians,
Not Owners
Every membership makes a real, verifiable impact
The project is born at zero cost to the land: your membership plants the trees, maintains them, and returns the oil, year after year.
