While on vacation with his wife in the South of France, near Menton, in the Roquebrune area, he found a large pine tree that reminded him of his hometown. He bought a plot of land there and built a villa. After the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania, Savickis, having lost his job as a diplomat, settled in that villa. It was named after the hometown - "Ariogala". They turned the house into a museum: they put wooden sculptures in the trees, in the niches of the fence - caretakers, chapels with the Mother of God, other saints. At home, Lithuania was reminded of the oak table made by brother Antanas, the paintings of Adams Varnas, Petros Kalpoks, Adams Galdiks and other famous artists hanging on the walls.
