No energy worries for Italy's 'harmonious walnut tribe'

Fabrizio Cardinali, 72 and Cardinali's current housemates, Agnese, 35, and Andrea, 46, have lunch together at Cardinali's home in the woods of the small town of Cupramontana, Ancona, Marche, Italy, December 12, 2022. Cardinali, Agnese, who has been living at Cardinali's house for the past two years, and Andrea, who spends the week there but goes home each weekend to look after his mother, grow their own fruits and vegetables, olives for olive oil, and keep bees for honey. A local cooperative sells them sacks of legumes, cereals and wheat, which they grind to make their own bread. "I feel privileged to have the freedom to choose my freedom," said Agnese.

Fabrizio Cardinali, 72, does not crave the bright city lights.

Indeed he has no use for electricity and for more than half a century has lived entirely off the grid.
