The olive tree is the symbol of my homeland, of my origins, of my youth. It is the symbol of my memories. The olive tree symbolizes the return home, and its scent is like a hug: it covers me every time I go back in Apulia. The dialect is the language I breathe and I talk every day, and even though I spent most of my life elsewhere, I can confidently say I've never forgotten it. On this record I complete a conversation started many years ago, enriched by many years of musical experience. (Giovanni Russo)
