Volunteers in the eastern outskirts of the Italian capital care for olive trees in public parks, harvesting their fruit to produce oil for charity.
Rome is dotted with public parks, some hosting ancient and recently planted olive trees.
Volunteers from two neighborhood associations in the city’s eastern outskirts have stepped up to care for olive trees growing in their district’s green spaces. These trees produce extra virgin olive oil for charity.
The city institutions have received the initiative well and aroused great interest among the public.
