Το βιβλίο "Εργαλεία της παράδοσης" είναι καρπός της αγάπης του Παύλου Κοντέλλη για την αγροτική ζωή και της ενασχόλησής του με τα γεωργικά μηχανήματα. Βιώνοντας ο ίδιος την αλλαγή που συντελέστηκε στην αγροτική ζωή από το 1950 και μετά, με την εκμηχάνιση της γεωργίας και τη χρήση των σύγχρονων μηχανημάτων, συνειδητοποίησε την αξία των παλαιών αγροτικών εργαλείων και τη σημασία τους για την ιστορία του τόπου μας.

The beauty of Olympia on the coin is comparable to the beauty of the landscape surrounding the site. Rolling hills co-vered with pine woods, small plains planted with vines and olive trees, and stately cypresses surround the area where the Alpheios and K...

The...
