A Step Back in Time: Exploring Civitella di Romagna

Our family has always been drawn to the allure of medieval history, and the picturesque village of Civitella di Romagna offered the perfect backdrop for our latest adventure. Nestled in the heart of Italy, this charming village is a treasure trove of historical wonders and culinary delights. As we strolled through its cobblestone streets, the air was filled with the scent of fresh produce and the distant echo of ancient tales.

Our journey began at the Slow Food farmers’ market, where we were greeted by the warm smile of Agrichef Katia Sandri. Her passion for sustainable food and traditional recipes was infectious, and she guided us through the market with an expert eye. The vibrant stalls were brimming with local produce, each item telling a story of the land and its people. Our children were captivated by the colorful array of fruits and vegetables, eagerly sampling the offerings and learning about the importance of a 0 km diet.

Culinary Delights with Agrichef Katia Sandri

One of the highlights of our visit was the opportunity to learn from Agrichef Katia Sandri herself. With her wealth of knowledge and engaging storytelling, she brought the ancient recipes of the region to life. As we gathered around her, she demonstrated how to transform simple ingredients into mouthwatering dishes, each one a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Civitella di Romagna.

Our children were particularly fascinated by the hands-on experience, as they rolled up their sleeves and joined in the cooking process. Katia’s approach was both educational and entertaining, making it a perfect family activity. We learned not only about the recipes but also about the cultural significance of each dish, deepening our appreciation for the region’s traditions.

A Perfect Ending at Agriturismo Campo Rosso

Our day concluded at the idyllic Agriturismo Campo Rosso, where we enjoyed a delightful agri-aperitif in the farmhouse garden. Surrounded by the gentle clucking of hens and the serene beauty of the countryside, we savored the flavors of the land. The aperitif was a celebration of the local produce we had discovered earlier, each bite a reminder of the connection between the earth and our plates.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the landscape, we reflected on the day’s experiences. The Medieval Village Tour with Agrichef Katia Sandri had not only enriched our understanding of Civitella di Romagna’s history and cuisine but had also created lasting memories for our family. It was a journey that blended education with entertainment, leaving us eager to explore more of Europe’s hidden gems.
