When I came to buy a house in Tuscany, I did it in part because I loved the simple foods found all over Italy. I loved the traditions, the festivals, and most of all the feast days.
Little did I know that even the "palazzo" or large building in which I now have an apartment was intimately connected with food and variety in the diet of the locals.
So, we took a peek into local food production in our tiny village, and created a feast from its bounty. Have a look (if you have the bandwidth, otherwise see it here, especially if it skips).
Location: Piano di Collecchia, Italy.

I hope you enjoy this celebration of local food in the Lunigiana. And let me tell you, if you don't like polenta, don't pass up polenta made correctly from folks who grow corn for their own use. It's way different.
