A cluster of houses around a Norman
Castle, this complex assumes the form of a village with all its structural and
architectural characteristics. It comes back to life after years of complete
abandon.
The Nature Centre we call the ‘Nibbio’ (the Kite) comes into being. In continuous development the village now consists of fifteen buildings, each of which with its own particular function within the whole, so that all are interrelated.
Thus it becomes possible to achieve
a full immersion in the Pollino range Flora and Fauna in a visit to this Nature Museum
Visitors are enabled to participate in the many activities connected with the
diffusion of a Southern Italian New Cuisine which aims at evaluating to the
full Indigenous Agricultural Knowledge (IK). Its function is to recuperate and
repropose old-fashioned tastes and flavors within a new form of creativity
capable of adding significant variety which will catalyze attention on the long
history of food. Classical craftsmen’s ‘botteghe’ are also present.
They
constitute a real and genuine example of village craftsmanship. It is not a
money-making project and visitors are made aware that their contribution to a
stay at the Nibbio Centre is an intrinsic part of a socially relevant project.
