Arboreal Archeology Foundation
The Arboreal Archeology Foundation aims to research, safeguard and reproduce endangered fruit trees: for 40 years it has been researching ancient local varieties in abandoned farms and monasteries, in Renaissance art, in ancient documents and in the testimonies of elderly farmers . It organizes pomological exhibitions, events dedicated to biodiversity, specific projects in Italy and abroad, visits by schools and groups of scholars and amateurs. The research led to the creation of the orchard collection, an extraordinary genetic and cultural heritage, in San Lorenzo di Lerchi, in a historic agricultural landscape
