DALLA NOSTRA GALLERIA DI IMMAGINI
Biking
Entirely in the “Monti Aurunci” Natural Park, on a mountain road in the territory of Itri, in a famous area known as “Campello”. Initially on a paved road, then a dirt road, you go through the “Campello” area where you can admire ancient herds used in ancient times to shelter animals. The area is full of plains where ancient people who lived in the “Aurunci” mountains cultivated wheat. You can admire the remains of the ancient threshing floors where the grain was ground. After about 8 km you reach the “Fossa del Lago”, one of the many high plateaus on the “Aurunci” mountains. The route goes back along the same road as the outward journey. Once back at the car park, it will be possible to reach “Il Casale di Nonna Maria” farm where will be carried out the workshop to make “pasta” using the flour of the ancient wheat “Grano Serena”cultivated on the “Aurunci”mountains. Here you can enjoy a lunch based on typical local products.
History
First “Campodimele”, then the 800 meters above sea level of the “Monti Aurunci” Natural Park, where there is a magical valley where time seems to have stopped. Reachable from a single road, white and dusty, without water mains, electricity and telephone lines, it is inhabited, only in summer, by some shepherds and populated by flocks of goats. Here, in summer, the native variety of wheat named "Serena" has been cultivated since time immemorial, rich from a food point of view and delicious from a culinary point of view: the bread made here, in fact, is never forgotten. And, perhaps, it lengthens life, if one considers that one in ten of the inhabitants of this area is over one hundred years of age! By Riccardo Barbieri
