We said it, the Sannio fascinated the entire caravan of Tour of Italy. Lots of enthusiasm along the roads that were touched on the journey between Pompeii And Bocca della Selva, as many at the departure this morning at Foiano di Valfortore. A human tide, many children, schools involved and a territory that showed the best of itself.
And the confirmation came at the beginning of this morning’s stage, the one in the Fortorina area with Davide’s story Cassaniformer cyclist, national coach and commentator for the pink race, who yesterday decided to live his Sannita day in Pietrelcina. He chose a municipality that he had never seen, also recalled by the figure of Father Pio and from that symbiosis between faith and culture capable of fascinating the faithful and beyond.
“I chose Pietrelcina – commented Cassani – because I had never seen it before but I knew that it was a center to visit at all costs and in the end I managed to do so. And it was fascinating to visit the village and above all to be enchanted by a figure like that of Padre Pio who can be felt in the air in Pietrelcina. I was hungry and in the end, I met a friar who recommended a pizzeria very close by (The morgione, ed.). I listened to his advice and I must say I did well. I ate a delicious pizza, warmly welcomed by Matteo and his wife. I had confirmation of how welcoming the Samnite people are and ready to make you feel at home, even if you are kilometers away.”
And there was no doubt, after all yesterday and today there was confirmation that this land can be beautiful like few others and made up of people ready to give you a smile.
