Carmine Di Pizzo
Ancient rural

Carmine Di Pizzo is 90 years old and has always lived in Cuccaro Vetere (Salerno), with the exception of his military service in the Cavalleria in Turin. By profession “farmer and unskilled worker”, he is the son of peasants and has always worked in his life, “since he was little”. Carmine pays great attention to his garden which he still takes care of personally today. On the other hand, he does not like breeding, which in fact entrusts to his son-in-law, the daughter’s husband.

Carmine eats according to the dictates of the Mediterranean Diet: many vegetables and legumes, extra virgin olive oil for dressing, pasta as a mantra and a few slices of salami or cheese, little meat. However, if asked if he knows the Mediterranean Diet, he replies that he is not interested in political issues.
