Navelli
Navelli, with 600 inhabitants, is home to one of the most ancient castles in the Catholic district of Valva, part of the Catholic district of L’Aquila since August 29th 1424. Pope Martin V merged the two districts to settle the violent conflicts over the payment of taxes owed to the Bishop of Valva by the citizens and inhabitants of the Comitatus Aquilanus.

Saffron
Saffron flowers are picked one by one. Then they are dried with great patience and passion, and the pistils are separated one by one from the flowers. The saffron that is so widely appreciated comes from meticulous work on thousands and thousands of flowers.

Legumes
Once upon a time there was pasta with beans, a poor dish that people were lucky to have every day or even almost every day on their table. As time went by, we realized that pasta with beans is actually a very complete meal: carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins all in the right amounts.
