We stayed for five days in the ancient Cilento, in the WWF Oasis of Bussento we did not find a cigarette butt or a single cm of plastic on the ground, we walked in silence for several tens of km as we hadn't done since last year, we heard a still hospitable dialect, we were shown the processing of LINEN that was done here, the stone mills, the water mills still active until a few decades ago, we ate anchovies as perhaps only from Pioppi to the whole Cilento they prepare, we checked the care with which the network of trails accessible to everyone is kept, all around these villages often defined as 'lost'. And every day we found in this agriturismo dedicated to the brooms the completion and the reason for the whole day, and for the next day: the people Eugenio and Angela, the imposing olive trees, the clean and fresh air at any time, the dried figs or in jams, the fragrant garden and the very close river, are the harmony made of simplicity between preserved landscape, ancient work, and respected rural environment. In this Cilentan natural space, one can re-feel and make their own if desired - with the help of the two hosts - life as it was and customs as they have become traditions. You can water the beans or tomatoes, go down to the nearby riverbed, sit in the hay, but also listen to the local stories and memory. We even found a real pool ready! And it is not true that it is unreachable: Michelin provides the complete route from Salerno (130 km) to the entrance of the agriturismo (printable), in a few seconds, without even an app or smartphone!
