Vines, wheat, olive trees and pastures: in Italy the landscape is almost always farmed. It begins in the Sicilian hinterland, among prickly pears and wheat.
All of agricultureTemples still standing among the olive trees, mosaics beneath the floors of a villa, the baroque of the squares: it begins in Sicily, where twenty-five centuries stand face to face.
All of artAbove all, the work of hands: kneading bread, hanging cheeses to age, filling the window of a pastry shop. It begins in Sicily, from the Nebrodi to frutta martorana.
All of foodThe lecture halls and laboratories of a university, the streets of a village that returns to the Middle Ages for three days, eighty years of Italian life in the negatives of the Riccardi Archive: three ways of handing down, side by side.
All of cultureCoasts, villages and mountains worth the journey on their own: from Sperlonga on the Tyrrhenian to the four seasons of South Tyrol, to the sea of Sicily and Etna.
All the landscapesDiseases that affect a few thousand people in the whole country, too few for the market to take them on: for more than thirty years a foundation has funded the laboratories that study them, and lets the children say what living with one is like.
All of researchIn Italy the circular economy has a history older than the phrase: a consortium that for decades has collected used lubricating oil across the country and regenerated it, instead of burning it.
All of sustainabilitySunday football, the stage race that crosses the regions in May, sailing, skiing: sport in Italy is a shared language, and it has its own newspapers too, read every morning at the bar.
All of sportSixty-two sites on the World Heritage List, from the rock drawings of Valcamonica to the shared-ownership theatres of central Italy, and twenty elements of intangible heritage, from the Opera dei Pupi to Italian cuisine.
