Following Almond Footprints (Amygdalus communis L.) – Cultivation and Culture, Folk and History, Traditions and Uses
Sulle Orme del Mandorlo (Amygdalus communis L.) – Coltura e Cultura, Folclore e Storia, Tradizioni e Usi
People’s identity is formed by the interactions of a large number of circumstances, factors and elements which, in the course of the time, have given origin to traditions and habits linked to ethnic groups living in certain geographic conditions. Typical agro-alimentary products are important and valuable tools to identify a culture because they reflect the specific pedo-climatic, technical, cultural and organizational events, which are necessary to call to life certain mechnisms for the development of local communities. In this sense, almond cultivation has an emblematic meaning either in terms of landscape and folklore, as well as for gastronomic reasons.
