with Giovanna Voria
The richness of the Mediterranean Diet does not come from abundance, but from the ability to make the most of what the land provides.
A legume, a wild herb, a few ingredients: it is from this simplicity that a cuisine capable of enduring through the centuries takes shape.
With the second event of Trame Mediterranee, on Friday, July 31, we will explore the Cicerale Chickpea and the use of aromatic herbs in cooking, rediscovering the value of frugality as an expression of culture, biodiversity and the future.
The guest of the evening will be Giovanna Voria, ambassador of Cilento cuisine and custodian of knowledge that continues to inspire new generations.
Gastronomic Theatre Dinner Menu:
- Aromatic herb fritters
- Mediterranean salad
- Lagane and chickpeas
- Dessert
- Wines included, curated by the Consorzio Vini Salerno
Gastronomic Theatre Dinner: the courses are inspired by the Cicerale Chickpea, its versatility and the aromatic herbs of Cilento.
Price: €25 per person.

Gastronomic Theatre – From the Land to the Table
In Pollica, at the heart of the UNESCO Emblematic Community of the Mediterranean Diet, between the sea of Pioppi and Acciaroli, the olive groves of the hilltop villages and the places that inspired studies on longevity, Trame Mediterranee – Gastronomic Theatre returns, the gastro-cultural format promoted by the Municipality of Pollica and the Paideia Campus.
More than a food and wine event, it is an immersive experience combining theatre, memory, landscape and cuisine, transforming every dinner into a collective narrative.
It brings together chefs, producers, fishermen, farmers, artists and custodians of Mediterranean tradition, where food becomes a universal language, a tool for dialogue between generations and an opportunity to tell the stories of the territory.
Through a format combining education, performance and tasting, Yuri Buono will guide the audience on a journey through stories of community, biodiversity, production traditions and innovation, giving a voice to those who preserve and renew Cilento’s biocultural heritage every day.
The 2026 edition is part of the programme promoted by the Municipality of Pollica and the Paideia Campus to establish Cilento as an international laboratory for longevity, integral ecology, gastrodiplomacy and territorial regeneration.
It is a vision that considers culture not simply as entertainment, but as a driver of local development and social cohesion.
The event series is organised in collaboration with the Consorzio Tutela Vini Salerno, bringing the story of the territory’s wine culture to life through tastings of native grape varieties.
On special evenings, AIS and ONAF experts will guide the audience in developing a deeper understanding of the outstanding food and wine products featured.
Sitting at this table means rediscovering that health, landscape, culture and community are inseparable threads of the same extraordinary fabric.
Come and immerse yourself in beauty, stories and flavour.
