Suspended in the blue of the Mediterranean, between Africa and Sicily, Pantelleria is an island that has fascinated travelers from all over the world, such as PIERGIACOMO, who decided to move here, where he works as a naturalistic guide. INES, a German architect, also decided to leave Germany to immerse herself in the magnificent atmosphere of this land and devote herself to the infusion of aromatic herbs. In the heart of the island, the splendid Pantelleria nature is protected by a National Park and, among some protected areas, the inhabitants cultivate gardens, such as that of DENNY, the last remaining beekeeper. Furthermore, some young islanders, such as ANDREA, leave the herds free to graze and undertake to sow by hand and to recover the land, even the most inaccessible ones. Finally, on Pantelleria, thanks to a group of researchers, a new species of cricket was discovered, which has adapted to living in this place, where men are still able to converse with nature.
