We Underestimated the Olive Grove Behind Our Italian Farmhouse

We went further into the forgotten olive grove behind our old Italian farmhouse in Umbria. For years, it had been left untouched — wild, overgrown, and slowly disappearing into the hillside. This is not renovation. It’s a gradual return. We clear space for light. We plant flowers between the work. We uncover stones hidden for decades. Each evening, the grove feels slightly different than in the morning. Slow living in rural Italy — olive groves, quiet routines, and life on a small farmhouse in Umbria.
