IN MYTH, ATHENA AND POSEIDON COMPETED AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, EACH OFFERING A GIFT.
POSEIDON OFFERED A SPRING OF SALT WATER, WHILE ATHENA GAVE THE OLIVE TREE.
THE OLIVE TREE WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE IT COULD NOURISH, ENDURE, AND BRING PROSPERITY.
IT IS FROM THIS LEGEND THAT THE DEEPEST INSPIRATION FOR OUR NAME IS DRAWN.
IN THE CROTONE AREA, THE OLIVE TREE IS MORE THAN JUST PART OF THE LANDSCAPE — IT IS PART OF THE REGION’S HISTORY.
OVER THE CENTURIES, IT HAS BECOME WOVEN INTO THE AREA’S AGRICULTURAL AND CULTURAL IDENTITY.
OUR NAME IS BORN FROM THIS CONTINUITY BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT.
FROM AN ANCIENT TRADITION THAT STILL RESONATES TODAY.
