Olivo (the Olive Tree Room) is the largest, the master bedroom. It takes its name from the patriarchal olive tree that can be seen from one of the two bright windows, the one on the right looking towards the ancient olive tree and the hills beyond. The other offers a sweeping lake panorama. An olive tree branch is reproduced on the wall with the "trompe-l'oeil" technique. On it are perched ten long-tailed wrens, nine of which face forward and one back. The meaning is that in a group there is always at least one with a different opinion.
