To you who travel along the path of your Life, sometimes without a clear destination I whisper:
- enters the Forest as an unexpected guest, She is there before you were and will be there after you
- Listen to your feet on the Earth. It welcomes your steps always, always, no matter how you move them.
- breathe the richness of (your) Nature, which offers itself to you without asking and nourishes you without asking

Fabio Ortile
Entrepreneur, IT technician, passionate about nature and everything that nature can give to humanity and that humanity can give to nature.
Self-taught in many ways, for several years I have studied plants, stones, subjects related to the culture of nature and the symbiosis between man and nature, and subjects related to meditation, introspection, and anything that can pique my thirst for knowledge.
My grandfather taught me how to care for the garden and plants. I then learned many other things, like cyclical nature, seasonality, respect, patience, and the careful selection of ingredients from nature to use in the kitchen to amaze friends.
We are one in search of the whole. We are all searching for the oneness within ourselves, and at the same time we pursue our spirituality, which encompasses our earthly journey.
