Legendary and archaic homeland of the Sabines and "Mother of Rome", amongst the rivers Tiber, Aniene and Nera, the latest in Umbria. A land of hills famous for its precious extra virgin olive oil with a bright green color and a fruity flavor, which the Greek / Roman physician Galeno used to define: "the best of the known world". Sabina has been a specialized olive oil production area since the Republican era and and kept this vocation even after the Empire fall thanks to the Farfa Abbey which represented the main productive rebirth flywheel of the rural territory exhausted by wars and infighting, and that today is the very symbol of medieval Sabina. Sabina is scattered with natural monuments, and signs of the past civilizations and of the rural memory, thanks to a slow transformation towards modernity, which has saved much of its heritage of culture and memory.
