Pasqualino Vestucci
Lifestyle of the neuropsychiatrist from Cilento

Pasqualino Vestucci was born in San Mauro Cilento in 1929 but spent a good part of his life in Naples, teaching as a lecturer in Child Neuropsychiatry at the University “Federico II”.

For him the Mediterranean Diet is part of those lifestyles that allow, together with the genetic heritage and the limited incidence of viral or bacterial infections, to extend life and above all to live well.

Currently retired, Pasqualino reconstructs in this interview the times of his childhood in the countryside and the memories of the dishes prepared by his mother and sisters, recalling in particular the fried egg, by far preferred to vegetables. Even in the years of his Neapolitan life, Pasqualino did not forget his Cilento roots, continuing to cultivate his vegetable garden and in particular his olive grove from which he took the oil with which he seasoned the dishes and made the fries at home.
