Pro Loco Giovinazzo

Cuisine is memory, identity, and tradition. In Quànne se mangiàve tutte jinze o stésse piatte, Maria Buonanova and Magda Minervini take us on a journey through the authentic flavors of the past, collecting recipes passed down from our ancestors. These dishes tell the story of a time when sharing a meal was a daily ritual, and food, even in its simplicity, was able to elevate the genuine taste of ingredients.
Each dish carries the wisdom of the people and the ability to transform a few elements into rich, flavorful meals full of meaning. With this recipe book, we rediscover the essence of our culinary tradition, filled with ancient gestures, the smell of home, and flavors that speak of history and community.
