The guardian farmer: stories of ancient fruits, bees, and rural memory in Fondo Prognoi. A sensory and emotional experience discovering the old varieties of fruit from the Verona area, where agricultural biodiversity becomes the living story of our families and their habits around the table.
Welcomed by Laura Tinazzi at Fondo Prognoi, participants will embark on a journey among fruit trees and beehives to discover ancient cultivation and preservation techniques "as it was done once." Many of the historic Veronese apples, pears, and grapes represent the fruits that our grandparents gathered to face the winter or that emigrants nostalgically remembered in their tales from overseas.
A journey through authentic flavors and rural memory, to rediscover the value of what the Verona land has preserved for generations.
