FOOD,SERGIO RUBINI APPOINTED AMBASSADOR OF THE OIL FROM APULIA

The Apulian extra virgin olive oil has an “ambassador” for the first time; in fact the organizer of the event “Extra” in Bari will give this one-year- task to the actor and director Sergio Rubini from Grimo Appula , giving him a casket containing a cruet full of extra virgin olive oil from Apulia. Rubini has commented this task during a press conference today ”I’ll do my best to give the Apulian oil all the importance it deserves I am aware the extra virgin olive oil is the result of a work that has been progressively changed to achieve certain results. J believe, as the Greek director Angelopolus said, that you need to come from provincial areas to become international: Apulia has always provided the most parts of Italy and the whole world with oil, so it deserves an important role in this field, which will give this region a true identity.” Then the actor has added:” there is a strict bound among my films, the oil and me; I have always promoted this product through my movies, because I am from Apulia, I live with a woman from Apulia, I offer Apulian food to my friends. J think I will be an “ambassador” not only from a theoretical point of view but from a concrete point of view: through my films, through the food I cook with the oil from Grimo. In my village when you leave home, your mother doesn’t give you shirts, but oil, considered as a precious thing.
