DEVIS BONANNI'S BLACK PEPPER ECOVILLAGE

Looking for a unique and original way to live in contact with nature and discover who made a radical choice? Visit Devis Bonanni 's eco-village : you can do it for free, exchanging food and lodging for your farm labor. Devis Bonanni, born in 1988, is a young man from Friuli who decided to live a self-sufficient life, close to nature. He was only twenty years old when he realized that living differently was possible. At first, it was just a feeling, an aspiration, which gradually transformed into a concrete life project: he began with a small vegetable garden without ever having seen a tomato plant, growing potatoes and grains to reconnect more directly with the land and achieve a first, rudimentary form of food self-sufficiency, combined with a simple and eco-sustainable lifestyle.

PECORA NERA ECOVILLAGE: THE STORY OF DEVIS BONANNI

This is how his eco-village "Pecora Nera" was born : now he lives off what he grows, through natural consumption and the reuse of resources. It's an experience that many Italians are beginning to look at with growing curiosity. He has also written a book for Marsilio Editori, in which he recounts the origins of his choices and his real life.

Step forward, Devis is always looking for helpers ready to return to earth.
