The Molise cooking
Molise is the littlest Italian region after Valle d'Aosta. Its landscape is characterized by a wide mountainous area and a limited level one on the coasty strip.
The peculiarity of the landscape is also mirrored in the Molise cooking which is, in the inland, characterized by the rural tradition that is dominated by the use of pork cooked in different ways such as seasoned with spices, the rustic sausages with spices, the ventricina and the soppressata, prepared following the traditional rules
Lucania cooking
The Basilicata region is a mainly mountainous area with very little plains among which the most wide is the Metaponto plain. The Romans called this region Lucania, this is a term that derives from Lucani, an ancient people (its meaning is linked to lucus that means wood). The landscape is rough, rural, ancient and still in time; there lives a simple, warm, available and joyful people.
