In the heart of Castel Del Monte between tradition and beauty
Guided excursion in the Abruzzo village, with spinning demonstration and lunch
A town anchored to the past and pastoral traditions, known as the homeland of wool and transhumance: Castel del Monte, solitary guardian of the history of Abruzzo on the outskirts of Calascio, allows you to go back in time and discover distant traditions and eras. Visit the village together with an expert guide, listening to the stories about the shepherds and transhumance and immersing yourself in the peasant culture. Then attend a yarn making demonstration inside a historic tavern, to understand the dedication, patience and talent of the artisans, as well as the techniques of processing handed down over time, from generation to generation. Conclude with a lunch based on local products, for an unmissable dive into Italian history and flavours.
