The man in the foreground is the owner of the olive tree farm which now inhabits the site of the former Church of Santa Barbara in Montecastrese. His house is at the base of the mountain, and he walks the precipitous trail around 10 times per day. He is nearly 80 years old, and made of iron, or possibly adamantium.
