<pre>Hello to Jamal Sadoun and all other listers!

Just some soft "spam" to introduce me: my name is Marco Bernardini.
I'm the webmaster of an Italian site entirely devoted to the taggiasca
variety: http://www.taggiasca.com

Our site has the same goal of this list: we speak about
> olive varieties, growing, harvesting, pressing, olive oil benefits, value,
> trade, statistics, recipes, cooking, news about the future of olive and
olive
> oil consumption around the world, new markets, promotions, and more.

Our "more" include even literature and art...

Who needs to quickly convert US/European measures (even Euro/liter
into/from US$/Gal!) can try our converter.

Alas, our international pages are still under developement because our
translator is harvesting his olives: hope you know some Italian :-)

We manage also a very small mailing list all in Italian, where I post
almost daily a lot of news.

Greetings,
Marco Bernardini
