2nd edition
NONNO GUIDO
The second edition of NONNO is dedicated to Guido, born in 1955. Born in the city—in Milan—but drawn to country life from a young age, he earned a degree in agriculture and began to make his steadfast passion for farming the guiding principle of his life choices.
After his early years in Romagna, he chose the hills of Barberino Val d’Elsa—in the heart of Chianti—as his home. It is there that he raises his four “mushrooms”—as he affectionately calls his children—and tends to his olive trees: he cares for them with a patient, quiet dedication that seems to belong to another era.
Dreaming of a John Deere, with a bit of Mozart playing in the background, a fire crackling in the fireplace, and his hands covered in dirt, Guido continues to experience the countryside as it was once done: without rushing to finish, but with a constant need to do things right.
Today, that same care is shared with his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, in a family story that continues among the olive groves of Chianti and takes shape in this new limited edition of NONNO.
1st edition
NONNO CARLO
It all began with Nonno Carlo: born in 1927 in Orvinio, raised in Rome, and deeply connected to Umbria, where he spent his life caring for his olive trees.
His energy was unmistakable: always racing against time, driven by his legendary impatience and irrepressible dynamism. At times a little overbearing, perhaps, but also the person who taught his grandchildren what it truly means to care for something.
From this legacy—tangible, imperfect, and full of life—NONNO was born: a project that celebrates olive oil, tradition, and life itself, made the old-fashioned way.
