Thanks to the sightedness and to impressive works for restoring landscape of this important entrepreneur of Pordenone, a bare and, at intervals, steep rise becames a wide agro-food park with an ideal habitat for the olive and the grape-vine, enriching the panorama with the winding and harmonious courses of they rows. |
