I’m Rosa Petrelli, president of the association Genius Loci...
and for the second year we work with Taranto’s tourist office...
for the program Città Aperte, an initiative of Puglia Regione to promote...
and stimulate tourism in our region.
In Itria Valley, especially in Martina Franca, we are promoting a calendar of events...
every Sunday at 5:30 pm will stroll in the old town of Martina...
or a natural hike, especially today we did a natural hike...
and our guide was Peter Chiatante, biologist and naturalist who will be able to explain the route taken.
It was played a full path in the Itria Valley, about 8 km, in part paved in part on the Apulian aqueduct...
a section of the main channel of the aqueduct, that Aqueduct is the largest in Europe...
with its 21,000 km is an aqueduct that brings water from springs of Caposele in Campania...
and basins of Basilicata in Puglia. A beautiful route because it develops in the heart of Itria Valley...
then a path through which to appreciate the beautiful scenery, natural...
architectural, historical and even the landscape of the Itria Valley.
The “vallonea” is the oak tree that produces the most larger acorn...
and the “fragno” is second in size.
There is the product specification of capocollo of Martina Franca that is a Slow Food... 18 00:02:40,264 --> 00:02:45,05 within which it is written that the pigs have to graze...
within the woods of “fragno”, so the diet of pigs for the production of capocollo ...
is precisely the acorn of “fragno”. So there is this strong bond between the natural environment...
and culinary tradition.
