Frantoio Rosso Ipogeo
Martina Franca, Italy
Representing the Medieval oil mill and its artistic projects in next year. The mill is a museum and renewed in a event location for private and public shows.
Our project aims to revaluate a place rich in history, offering the opportunity to make known a piece of underground life ‘the belly of Martina Franca’ still unknown to many. We telling visitors about its history that began millions of years ago, as witnessed by the fossils embedded in the rock of the current ceiling. From a natural cave, eroded by water and later expanded by the skilful hand of man, an oil mill took shape in the Middle Ages. It was mainly used to produce oil for lamps and ceramic lamps, the only source of lighting at the time, and later for olive processing until the late 1960s. At the end of its time cycle, when new technologies denied it space and production possibilities, it was abandoned. Today it is taken up by us with the dream of bringing it back in time and reviving its past through artefacts such as ceramic oil lamps, also revisited in a modern version in 3D.
