This Thursday on Radio Radio we talked about Amatrice, together with its Mayor Giorgio Cortellesi!
A village that we are waiting to find again, and that in the meantime you can get to know with our Tourist Guide of Amatrice.
We continue our journey to discover the most beautiful and interesting villages of Lazio with our weekly appointment together with Radio Radio and ANCI Lazio, in the program “Amico Comune”, where every Thursday we talk about a village in Lazio together with its Mayor.
Numerous earthquakes have cyclically destroyed Amatrice: the worst in 1639 and then in 2016 which completely destroyed the old part.
The city, however, raised its head and its strengths were the land and the mountains.
After all, Amatrice was known for giving its name to the most famous Italian pasta dish, pasta all'amatriciana, created to enhance the products of the farmers, breeders and shepherds of these mountains. After getting to know this pasta, many popes have chosen to have someone from Amatrice among their cooks.
The great strength of the rebirth of Amatrice and its numerous hamlets is the tenacity of the people, the skill of artisans who have restarted ancient crafts (such as the Donne di Amatrice) and the quality of the products that can be recognized at the first bite.
The mountain with its climate has forged men and with its paths it has put them in communication with the rest of the world.
It is no coincidence that one of the most heartfelt festivals is that of Autumn dedicated to mountain products such as Polenta, Spelled, Pasta with lentils and potatoes, "Lu Picone", Roasted chestnuts and Vin Brulé.
We can't wait to visit Amatrice and taste its famous pasta all'amatriciana !!!
