Slow Food · A Day in the Woods at Colle Timmari

Colle Timmari is a place of the soul where the history of an ancient Greco-Apulian necropolis blends with pristine nature. Passing the old village, you reach the Teacher and Professor's house, a refuge nestled among woods and olive groves that welcomes guests with the enveloping aroma of "Pastorale," the traditional Lucanian stew. Here, between a glass of wine and a slice of freshly baked focaccia, visitors rediscover the magic of childhood and the value of true friendship. The conviviality continues amidst the flavors of the land—from fragrant olive oil to sweet figs—and concludes beautifully with the star of the table: black cherry tart accompanied by rosolio. When evening falls, the hill transforms into a dreamlike world illuminated by fireflies, where centuries-old oak trees and mythological shepherds seem to come to life beneath the stars. It's a corner of the world where the olive trees and the forest remain faithful companions in every season, transforming every encounter into a sincere bond.
