The experience
The highest and most international point of this story: a festival born to make cooking an instrument of peace, which every year turns San Vito Lo Capo into the world capital of couscous. The new document widens the food thread to rockfish soup, the wild herbs of Macari and Castelluzzo and the traditional caldo-freddo.
