mushrooms are delicious, exquisite, refined. Appear on the menu of haute cuisine and the Italian tables. Still have not always enjoyed a good reputation. Pliny the Elder, for example, they counted "among the less desirable foods, and Cardoncello, in particular, also called Cardarelli, Ferlengo, Ferula Mushroom, depending on the region, was considered an expression of supernatural forces, aphrodisiac in the Middle Ages, so to be put on the Index by the Holy Office because the pilgrims distracted by the idea of \u200b\u200bpenance that had to be connected to the Jubilee Pilgrimage. Vegetarianism counts among them food tamas, conducting energy inert, which make static, both physically and mentally, to oppose the concentration and spiritual progress. They contrast with those "sattvic" instead help to maintain health and peace of mind and help to foster the spirit.
But vegetarianism does not have many followers and, on the other hand, in terms of the dietary Cardoncello fresh is a panacea and is used in low calorie diets. Contains on average 85% to 95% water, 4-5% sugar, 3.8 to 4% of the proteins, fat from 0.4 to 0.7, are present in it all the amino acids and the main vitamins with a good level, unusual plants, biotin. The
Cardoncello, widespread in the natural state in the south of Italy, France and Spain, then as a whole enjoys a good reputation. It is the most popular mushroom in Puglia, Sardinia, Basilicata and in certain provinces of Lazio and Sicily. Murgia in check in the autumn, prefers a Mediterranean climate and grows and grows on the ruins of Eryngium Eryngium marittimum and country.
In the 60 and 70 of the previous century it was customary to go in search of Cardoncello Murgia. Whole families are mobilized, sometimes returning home empty-handed, because it was (and is) necessary to have a "treasure map", be aware of the locations where they nest, have a trained eye and a mind not distracted. A slight sheen may indicate the presence of a "fungaiola", ie a dense field of mushrooms, and it is indescribable satisfaction mushroom hunters in the act of appropriation and display it as 'trophy hunting' appalled to competitors. Today the ritual has been done impromptu, partly because of restrictions imposed by law, so we need to be licensed if you want to hunt down the Cardoncello. We are masters in complicating things and determine certain phenomena, such as the proliferation of bread, so the mushrooms are born 'extra utero' probably have a lower selling price, but less taste delicious, a bit 'stale.
With the Festival of the mushroom, which links the countries of Spinazzola, Cassano and Ruvo di Puglia, which will be held on November 13 and 14 coming in the beautiful historical center, that revives collective rite now consigned to history. A festival is an opportunity to network preferences, traditions, tastes, places, people, so it is not a simple "red herring" contrived to bring in Ruvo di Puglia a stream of tourists and patrons a temporary alleviation of the local economy, or sectors of it. With the festival grabbing the hunger of the eyes to meet new spaces, monuments, natural beauty, "niches". You tickle the nose and palate of travelers on Saturday and Sunday, it encourages the so-called territorial microturismo, focusing attention on an entire community with its cultural and gastronomic heritage Latu sensu. You can draw new players in the local tourist system, not just the Pro Loco with their specific skills, but also other operators, craftsmen, traders, catering, farm holidays, bed and breakfast. All these are empowered and called to be a team to make the town of Ruvo Puglia attractive, welcoming, warm, and the festival a time to remember and transmit. In this sense, is the statement of the Tourism and Culture, Cletus Bucci, for whom "a hospitable city is a place of production and at the same time a place of consumption. The success of any initiative, such as the Festival of Cardoncello precisely this, is how to capture "honorary citizens" and that tourists, and provide appropriate justification sapergli so that they can "eat locally". This can happen if the tourist, that is, the city temporarily, able to share with us ruvesi, emotions, atmosphere, service, culture, and then succeed in a word to cultural and human enrichment. " The festival relies on the active contribution of the Cooperative Credit Bank of Santeramo in Colle and Ascom - Confcommercio. He obtained the patronage of the Province of Bari has been no financial support from the City of Ruvo di Puglia, but not moral. Engine initiatives, the Pro Loco of Ruvo, chaired by Joseph Tedone, which highlighted the importance of synergetic effects and to provide appropriate responses to requests for more select tourism and demanding, with the decisive contribution of the population ruvese that a old adage lover wants the stranger.
