The red wheat Agrifest program is a clever mix of historical research, tradition and community involvement.
It could easily slip into the mere valorization of tradition and its transposition in a contemporary key through productive activities and instead it is increasingly consolidated as a community event in which young people and adults work side by side to give the public a varied and entertaining program.
The youth staff is therefore responsible for organizing an evening more suitable for an audience of their peers. This year DJ Elia will be on the console with his Late night vibes.
But the involvement of young people in the activities of the Fair does not end here. In fact, they will set up an information point in Crova park and become guides for those who want to discover the Salmour area. “I believe that a town like Salmour has a lot to express also on a tourist level – explains Anna Vissio who is currently taking her final exams at the Vallauri Tesauro tourist institute in Fossano -. Smaller towns are often underestimated, but both from a landscape and historical and architectural point of view, Salmour deserves to be discovered. We will accompany those who wish to see, for example, the church of Sant’Agostino and the villa of the Crova barons. Let’s not forget the products of the land with the discovery of the Gentilrosso fields. I believe that the tourist revival of towns like ours can pass through food and wine products”.
Anna Vissio was also given the full title of expert in tourism by the organization which for this edition invited her to the speakers’ table of the event dedicated to storytelling to talk about the “sieta”, the ancient sweet in a jar based on baked fruit.
