The event created to promote the beauties and tourist-cultural proposals of the Phlegraean area, organized by Malazè Laboratorio di Comunità APS, continues in its second weekend of events dedicated to food and wine, the beauties of the territory, the landscape, the myths and its stories. These are the ingredients that will accompany young and old "ViaggiAttori" to live an experiential dimension that only these unique places can offer. "We are halfway there, happy to have resumed this year but aware that Malazè - explains the creator of the event, Rosario Mattera - cannot limit itself to being a showcase of the Phlegraean Fields for only two weeks a year. We want to look to the future in an innovative way to create wealth responsibly in the food sector as well as in cultural and social enterprise, in new digital technologies and in design. But we haven't forgotten our past; we know that roots can make a difference in the globalized world ”.  Below is the complete cale...

Malazè is back, the festival-lab conceived by Rosario Mattera to promote the beauties and tourist-cultural proposals of the Phlegraean Fields. Now in its fifteenth edition, Malazè is an event that spreads throughout the Phlegraean Fields and ideally unites Naples, Pozzuoli, Bacoli, Monte di Procida, Quarto and Procida as well as numerous associations and businesses in the area. This year an edition full of events dedicated to food and wine, the beauties of the Phlegraean area, history but also leisure, designed so that you can  immerse yourself in the myths and legends of this land. "The goal is to let those who do not know it discover this land and to thrill those who already know it but not enough", explains Rosario Mattera. “This is the fifteenth edition, every year is a different bet and we did not expect to get this far; I am driven by the conviction that the territory has strengths that are not sufficiently valued and that it still has a lot to offer ". Fifteen d...

    It’s as if I am rediscovering you and your cuisine, Angelo. That is how I answered Angelo Carannante, chef of the Michelin starred restaurant Caracol Gourmet, during our after lunch chit chat that windy afternoon. Rediscovering, reliving, and in some ways - silently celebrating- my latest lunch at one of Campania’s top restaurants. My first visit was back in 2017.   I remember as if it were yesterday. Each yearly visit since then (minus 2020 due to Covid)   includes a steep downhill ride in the restaurant’s 4x4 (the only way to reach Caracol). Colorful, no frills , packed with flavor dishes. A wine list with international as well as local wines from Campi Flegrei.   And of course- the fantastic view. Definitely a stellar experience.

  On the 12th of September, the 1st edition of Monteruscello Fest was held.  A sold out charity event featuring chefs, pizza makers and other artisans in the enogastronamic that raised 20 thousand Euro for Telethon.   This was announced by the organizers of the event, Daniele and Simone Testa and Giovanni Tammaro who wanted to promote the initiative, together with the Municipality of Pozzuoli, to make a contribution to the research program on  Diseases Without  Diagnosis implemented by the Tigem of Pozzuoli and also to enhance the Monteruscello district. " We thank - they said - the many people who participating in the event made a donation to Telethon and the many artists and chefs who did not lack their support for the initiative. We apologize to the many local operators, restaurateurs, entrepreneurs of the food, pastry chefs, which we have not been able to involve this year. We consider this first edition a test, but we are sure that next year by spr...

  When you open Abraxas Osteria’ s home page, you’ll find these words--- We are in the Phlegrean fields, here where throughout the centuries the fire meets the sea, the seductive and wild nature offers unique scenarios and unmatched products. Here the ancient embraces the modern with warm and lively colors: smoothed tufo stone, the brick arches, the wood, colors and shapes of objects that tell our story. Every detail has something to tell, each detail is part of Abraxas. Abraxas is a place where the hosts welcome friends who come back with pleasure to learn about their tales and their passion for these lands, made of laborers, breeders, fishermen and producers who live to carry on in their companies the ancient traditions that allow each of our plates to to be lived through warm feelings. I read those words with a smile as I scrolled through the website with curiosity, enthusiasm, and excitement.   It had been two (omg- maybe three) years since I had visited Nando Sale...
