"In my experience with international customers, I can say that the olive tree is one of the most loved plants and is undoubtedly at the top of the requests for use in the composition of a garden," said Alice Collantoni, an architect who specializes in garden and landscape design.
We met Collantoni on the southern coast of Tuscany, in the seaport town of Porto Santo Stefano, on the promontory of Monte Argentario, whose name, according to a legend, derives from the silver ('argento' in Italian) shadings of leaves of the olive trees widespread in the area.
