A plantation can develop over time only if it is in perfect harmony with the environment that hosts it, and the people living and working in it.

I have to add that the perpetrator is a Florentine; his people aren't exactly first offenders in matters of Renaissance. Claudio Corallo has however, left Tuscany of his birth many years ago, to dedicate himself first to growing coffee, in Zaire, and now cocoa beans in Sao Tome.
