But Mario Rigoni Stern also reflected on the present, speaking about our responsibility towards the environment, the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the dignity of working the land. We would like to recall among his most significant works, <i>Arboreto salvatico,<\/i> a collection of short stories published in 1991. Each story is devoted to a plant species, among which there is the olive tree, and each plant brings back to the author&#8217;s mind memories and anecdotes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are fifteen you are in love with everything, but as time passes, it becomes more difficult to get carried away.
