Hinterterra, the traveling culinary congress that will stop in the village of Quaglietta

On 4 and 5 October, between Alto Sele and Alto Cilento, chefs, artisans, pizza makers and winemakers meet to celebrate the hinterland, to enhance traditions, preserve the culture and history of the Campania territories, often unknown places whose cuisine , with its universal language, becomes the ideal ambassador to promote its charm and history.

Hinterterra is a traveling culinary congress that will touch ten municipalities including the beautiful village of Quaglietta, recently redeveloped. It starts on October 4th from Valva, the epicenter of the event and the birthplace of the artistic director, the starred chef Cristian Torsiello. Cutting the ribbon will be the "Signals to the center of the earth" congress scheduled in the Giacinto Scelsi auditorium (which will see representatives of the institutions, agri-food production and training discussing with Torsiello), the literary salon dedicated to the Renaissance of the villages hosted in the castle of the suggestive Villa d'Ayala, surrounded by the woods and the Italian garden, and the specialties and wines offered by local housewives, chefs and innkeepers along the streets of the town. On the same evening, three local restaurants will host guest chefs for dinners focused on the meeting of the different regional "hinterlands":Valeria Piccini, Luca Abruzzino, Stefania Di Pasquo, Mirko Balzano and the Caggianese pizza chef Angelo Rumolo will be at Silarus in the medieval village of Quaglietta, in the province of Avellino.
