We will go through the suggestions of an archaic rite, approaching the majestic logs that bear witness to ancient stories. We'll explore the dives of an ancient farmhouse, where walls jealously guard a daily history of authentic traditions. Under the shade of centuries-old olive trees, we will taste the bread of Matera, baked by an ancient wood-burning oven, and we will accompany it with the extra virgin olive oil obtained from the same centuries-old olive trees. In an immersive workshop, we will enthusiastically prepare "la cialledda", a traditional dish that tells the meeting between the characteristic bread of Matera, now stale, and the vegetables of the Lucanian land. All will end with the sharing of this meal, just like the olive bins still do today during their breaks. And while we enjoy the prepared delights, we'll be accompanied by the enveloping sounds of popular instruments and songs that tell the material tradition. A unique and immersive experience that will make us fully experience the magic of this land and its ancient traditions.
