How comforting is to lay in the shadow of centuries-old trees, while herons,wild ducks, and storks circle above you
To hear about the noise of olives falling on webs during the harvest days; how welcoming it makes you to stroll every day on grounds that have been walked by the most different peoples for millenniums, as "Sicilians have always been conquered, now it's our time to conquer", Amari lights up.

All trees are beautiful and roots strong and deep as they read the Heritage and the History of both the House of Savoy-Carignan and the House of Habsburg-Lorraine.
