<<34>> Good morning, Giovanni. Let's see,

<<38>> a very old company,

<<40>> from my grandfather's time, and gradually it has

<<45>> expanded a bit. It has always worked

<<49>> with Bergamotto (Bergamot) and Limone (Lemon) of the Venturis.

<<53>> We see today the likes of the name of the

<<58>> father, and even the "rockstar" and the Thomas

<<63>> machines, and our way of extracting

<<68>> date back to 1850, 1890 with the extraction

<<75>> of oils, with manual extraction. For a

<<80>> normal day,

<<82>> we could manage to employ about

<<85>> 140 workers in a season, and to do

<<89>> what we do today. Everything is much easier

<<92>> with mechanical equipment, everything is much

<<94>> easier, and it allows us to obtain

<<97>> even today... excuse me,

<<100>> to divide the area of the lake and the drawings of the

<<103>> show that we are working to improve the

<<105>> quality we must make.

<<107>> Today here, let's say, we have a

<<109>> Limone (Lemon) essential oil. For the

<<112>> complete analysis, we have to wait an hour to

<<116>> have the chromatogram.

<<151>> A very good scent, very good, very

<<160>> good.

<<164>> From March until June, twice:

<<168>> in March and April, and then in June.

<<172>> Through my father, who harvested

<<176>> these Bergamotto (Bergamot) fruits, and as a child I would go

<<181>> behind him, and I liked it, I played, and then

<<184>> slowly I started to take care of

<<187>> the plants myself.

<<188>> And so, this passion... like all

<<192>> other passions, there are those who are passionate

<<195>> about being a bricklayer, those passionate

<<197>> about being a driver,

<<199>> those passionate about playing

<<201>> soccer. I am passionate about doing

<<204>> this work. I like it because this

<<207>> work sometimes has to be done even when

<<209>> it rains.

<<262>> The Sicilian Limone (Lemon) has an exclusive

<<266>> characteristic, you could say, compared

<<269>> to other lemons.

<<270>> Even in its aroma, it is much

<<274>> higher quality.

<<277>> Cultivation in my Sicily requires

<<281>> every single day, three days, to have a

<<285>> property like this, which was almost

<<288>> abandoned. We try to restore it,

<<290>> we carry out proper pruning,

<<292>> we make it greener,

<<295>> we get a better product, and it is

<<298>> propagated in this way.

<<301>> This is our passion, passion.
