We are an egalitarian, humanitarian commune living as ecologically as possible with the land. Giuridically we are an agricultural cooperative. The community started in Lower Bavaria in 1975 and moved to Central Italy in 1982. Many of the founding members came out of the Movement of the 1960s. There are 20 adults and two young persons living in three houses on 92 hectares of hilly land. A large flock of sheep provides the basis for commercial cheese production. 400 olive trees are being cultivated, the oil we consume largely ourselves. Some of the activities we are engaged in are horticulture, colouring of textiles with natural colours and pottery. Our monetary income we obtain predominantly working as artisans and in the service sector outside of the community. We have stopped to receive visitors with a general interest in communal living, but we welcome long-term visitors, persons who want to do an internship and contact us well in advance.
