Viadana Melon

Viadana is a melon production area boasting certain cultivation evidences dating back to the 16th century. The characteristic Viadana melon was a melon with a smooth peel and a yellow color when ripe, round and slightly oblong, with a strong fragrance. The pulp had a bright salmon color, not too sweet, but very aromatic with a spicy aftertaste. After gathering, the ripe fruits can be preserved for one day or no more than two days. Currently, Viadana production area is known for its "Supermarket" melons. They are round-oval with evident net lines and furrows, outlining the slices, smooth and yellow when they are ripe. The pulp has an orange color, sometimes bright, and a sweet and scented taste. The quality of Viadana is given by the particular saltiness of the soils.

When it comes to bread, Italy's know-how goes back centuries. From north to south, every town can boast its own traditional bread, the most famous of which includes that made in one of Italy's most beautiful regions, Basilicata: we're talking about bread from Matera.
Known for its ancient habitations literally set in stone, the sassi, and for its rupestrian churches, Matera is an undisputably fascinating city. Appreciated by tourists from all over the world, this town in historic Lucania is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. What makes Matera so captivating? Those that visit it immediately have the sensation of walking through a life-size Nativity scene. And it is not a coincidence that this "Second Bethlehem" was chosen for the making of such films as The Passion of the Christ.

The particular bread from Matera has long been the city's symbol. Its form and unique taste are the fruit of ancient culture and tradition that still live on today.
