Italian agronomist and researcher Isabella Dalla Ragione poses in a small church where she stores fruits from the orchard collection of the Archeologia Arborea foundation in San Lorenzo di Lerchi, a hamlet of Città di Castello in Umbria, on November 7, 2025. In the hills of Umbria, Italian agronomist and researcher Isabella Dalla Ragione is on a unique mission: tracking down forgotten fruits. She scours Renaissance paintings and ancient manuscripts to rediscover varieties that vanished from our tables and from the market. Her work isnt just about nostalgia; its a fight to restore biodiversity and build resilience against climate change. (Photo by Tiziana FABI / AFP)
