Food: the Oil mill festival at Campello sul Clitunno
21st edition of the festival of oil mills, a food and
wine but also cultural festival, focused on extra
virgin olive oil, is going to take place at
Campiello sul Clitunno from next Friday to next
Sunday. This initiative is promoted and
organized by the town council of Campello sul
Clitunno with the support of producers, oil mills
and cultural or social association and by the pro-
loco (local association for the development of the
area). The visitors will be given the opportunity
to taste the local extra virgin olive oil. There will
also be - as the organizers have explained -
cultural activities. This festival has been
presented today in the hall' Fiume' of Donini
palace in Perugia; during the press conference the
major from Campello, Paolo Pacifici, has
explained, that this is an important initiative for
the promotion of "the most important product" of
this little town. "The festival will join the
promotion of this product with some cultural
activities that best represent our area" in the
Major's words. One of the most important news
of this festival is the nomination, unique in Italy,
of the temple of Clitunno as Unesco world
heritage. This is the symbol of the great historical
and cultural heritage present in this area.
