Labirinto explores the architecture seen as a vector for an ideology, spreading in the inhabitants’ thoughts.

Since 2017, Wiktoria Wojciechowska works in the area of Agro Pontino in Italy: formerly marshes, which were, throughout centuries, a challenge for the authorities. The Romans, Popes and Napoleon have all tried to drain, recultivate it and build new settlements. The one who achieve the goal was Benito Mussolini, with the help of the hard work of World War I combatants.

Read our privacy notice The pandemic has not only changed our way of life but has also shifted our attitudes towards how we view food and what we’re eating Organics are moving forward from being niche to mainstream and during these times of uncertainty and fear consumers have been looking to organic food brands as a trusted food source commissioned by the Food Farming and Countryside Commission and The Food Foundation revealed 42 percent of participants said that this crisis has made them value food more and 33 percent claim to be throwing less food away An Ecovia Intelligence report suggested organic sales were in fact receiving a global boost amid the current crisis with some organic suppliers reporting as much as a 30 percent sales rise in the UK last month Among the suppliers profiting is Mr Organic one of the country’s fastest growing natural food brands at the forefront of producing tomato-based seed-to-shelf products More than 80 of the company's organic and vegan range can be found on the shelves of Wholefoods Its ethical mission includes using Italian tomatoes that have been harvested in a truly organic and sustainable environment To find out more about their practices I travelled to the coastal city of Latina in Italy to meet Mr Organic’s CEO The tomato heirloom factory has been a part of the Simonetti family story for the past three generations beginning with Valerio’s grandfather Age 14 Valerio started working in his dad’s tomato’s factory and now almost 30 years later he is the managing director of the brand’s operations Over the past 10 years he has switched the production to 100% organic – with the farm only growing exclusively natural tomatoes Simonetti employs 120 people and produces 12,000 tonnes of tomatoes every day – around 20 trucks a day during harvest My visit begins at Mr Organic’s farm in Pontinia I arrive at the peak of the tomato harvest season Usually I would be witnessing the sun-ripened tomatoes soak up the hot Italian sun but the recent the rain had dampened the production Leaving workers unable to go into the farms to harvest tomatoes “We always have to hope for the weather each year,” Simonetti said Valerio admits there is a close-knit family approach to the operations at Mr Organic they are all my friends so before choosing a product I go visit their factory and see all their documentation," he tells me Valerio explains the tomatoes are brought to the production base by a tractor travelling only a short journey – allowing for them to be processed within five hours of harvest Northern Thai BBQ restaurant Khao Bird to open above Globe Tavern Tourists can now order takeaways on the Great Wall of China Tom Kerridge and Clare Smyth help launch top hospitality scholarship Having the farms so close by helps Mr Organic keep carbon emissions to a minimum and the flavour of the tomatoes intact The operation also sees the 200kg of harvested tomatoes kept in aseptic bags to make ketchup for the rest of the year “I think what makes us special is that there is no other company like us that has its own farm or factory - and the fact that we do 100% organic,” says Simonetti He adds: “All the other factories and farms they do both organic and conventional so the risk of contamination is higher For us the risk of contamination is zero.” Mr Organic’s ever-evolving concoctions of ingredients have been a part of the winning formula with consumers Back at the Mr Organic production base I meet the team of taste experts researching and creating new Mr Organic flavour-packed sauces and spreads Valerio tells me: “We choose four or five different seeds per year with different characteristics to try and experiment different tastes “My idea is to get up to 250 to 300 products “We don’t want to do everything but we want to provide a good substitution to the conventional.” From meeting Valerio there is no doubt in my mind that he enjoys the Italian way of life Food is considered a lifestyle and he enjoys an afternoon aperitivo a traditional Italian custom where drinks and a light meal serve up as a kind of warm up to dinner He also makes daily trips to his childhood home to eat a homemade lunch with his mother Its where Mr Organic’s headquarters are located and where he visits once a month to meet the company’s other owners While Valerio celebrates the success organic foods are having with consumers he believes the clean-eating movement is bigger than what you choose to put on your plate and shows me where practices during the working day He says with conviction and a smile: “We don’t only think that organic food is important as we always say it’s about organic living Organic is good for you and everyone else around you VE Day 2025 fashion: best looks from the day VE Day 2025 fashion: Princess of Wales to Lady Victoria Starmer Prince Louis steals the show at VE Day parade as he keeps dad William looking sharp and mimics brother George Prince Louis steals show with sweet antics at VE parade David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash in London 'shut down' by council over noise complaints David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash 'shut down' over noise complaints Royals watch historic flypast as huge crowds turns out for VE Day 80th anniversary  Royals watch historic Red Arrows flypast for VE Day 80th anniversary Stacey Solomon 'regrets doing reality show with Joe Swash' for tough reason Stacey Solomon 'regrets reality show with Joe Swash' for tough reason
