Satisfaction expressed by the organizing staff, also confirmed by Confartigianato La Spezia which proposed very popular food and wine panels. Every evening from 6 to 9 pm, in the Talk Area of Liguria da Bere many operators from the Food sector took turns. Antonella Cheli, vice president of Confartigianato, opened the dance by bringing her precious “vegetable garden” to the square; the panel entitled “Wild and aromatic herbs that make the flavors of our territory unmistakable” transported us in an instant to the “Orti del Timone”, making us breathe in the scent of rosemary, thyme, marjoram, basil and dandelion; subsequently, despite Italy’s football failure at the European Championships, the aroma of basil consoled the attendees with the seminar entitled: “Pesto: authentic flavor of Liguria”, the Cooking Class led by the company “Pesto Fiore”, based in via Fiume. Giulio Carabelli, owner together with his sister Irene Carabelli, explained the traditional recipe for pesto alla genovese and the secrets for a perfect pesto. Finally, oil could not be missed, the undisputed protagonist together with the wine of the region. With “Olive growing in the La Spezia area between difficulties and future prospects”, Confartigianato accompanied those present along the paths of oil tourism, through a path of collaboration between the Frantoiani Confartigianato Association, the Association “I Sentieri dei Poeti and the CAI of La Spezia. At the end, there was a tasting of the Riviera Ligure DOP Oil led by Marco Lucchi, of the Frantoio Lucchi e Guastalli.
