One way to\nreconcile with the Earth and go against the current of multinationals that sell\nprocessed food. It was quite different when women and men from Cilento did <em>o\n&#8216;lvino<\/em>: they took the seeds from various fruits and placed them in the most\nfertile part of the soil, the little plants were born, and then planted in the\ngarden. Now, the little plants to be put in the garden are bought and one doesn\u2019t\nknow, Mario tells us, if they are &#8220;good or bad.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the\npast is not only gold: up to the \u201850s food was scarce and &#8220;Hunger&#8221;\nwas not just a rhetorical expression to emphasize poverty because often a meal consisted\nof a bunch of wild herbs that grow naturally. Also there was bartering of food,\nsuch as anchovies. Women went from Agnone with baskets on their heads, and exchanged\nfood with olive oil of San Mauro Cilento: a social solidarity stratagem by\nwhich they solved primary needs and the lack of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diet\nof this energetic octogenarian from Cilento is characterized by plenty of\nfruits and vegetables that come directly from his garden, beans, pasta and a\nhomemade glass of red wine. Meat only a little. On Sunday, however, fusilli\nwith goat meat ragout cannot be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<font size=\"2px\">Interview by: Antonio Puzzi\n<br>Video by: Rossella Galletti and Antonio Puzzi.
