Olivetum

Foto: Peter de RuPartly concealed by olive trees and completely in harmony with its surroundings is the garden pavilion known as the Olivetum.

The garden pavilion was designed by architect and curator of Villa San Michele 1975-1995 Levente Erdeös.

Erdeös writes:

Its function accords with Munthe's great passion for nature. A permanent exhibition dedicated to Capri's unique flora and fauna has been set up in the Olivetum.

The exhibition was made by Ottenby Bird Station.
