Author's Introduction

Submission Reference

 

'Pan' e Pomodor - A Passion In Puglia' describes how we came to buy a derelict "torretta" (little castle) and a 10 acre olive farm in the Gargano, Puglia - the trials and tribulations, the joys and surprises, the highs and lows.

The Gargano provides a novel backdrop to the story. It is a beautiful and remote peninsula that is virtually undiscovered and its people, dialect, and traditions give the impression that civilisation simply passed the region by.

My wife's father emigrated (in his view he escaped) from the village and lifestyle of Vico del Gargano. Each year he would return with his family for August and after we married, we too visited Vico each summer. For my wife in particular Vico always felt like home. She seemed to have a subliminal bond, perhaps acquired when she was brought to Vico as a baby and left in the care of her grandmother.

We instinctively wanted to move to the area, but due to the remoteness, the dialect and strong family reaction we were deterred from doing so. Nonetheless, we continued to harbour dreams of doing so as we became more familiar with the people, their customs and habits.

Then one day the opportunity came for us to escape the UK and we embarked on a long journey that would change our lives forever ...
