Mileto: The Giro tells me that: Mileto is a recently founded city. In 1784, the engineers A. Winspeare and L. La Vega and the architect V. Ferraresi signed its project. The urban planning of the new Mileto is rectangular, with lengthwise streets, intersected with perpendicular ones. Four symmetrical squares were provided for daily markets and a wider central square for special ones. Its practical realization maintained the original project.
Specialities: Local starters are made with cold meats, cheeses and preserves, including pickles and ‘nduja; the first courses are characterized by homemade pasta, especially fileja, accompanied by the tipical Mileto meat sauce, a perfect second course and pasta sauce. The second courses are also stockfish and codfish, apart from the meat and sausages roast. Fried food is delicious too, particularly curudicchjie and zeppole. For what concerns pastries, the Christmas and Easter ones are even typical products; it is necessary to remember pitte pie and the so-called Campanari, pastries with hard-boiled eggs.
Camigliatello Silano: The Giro tells me that: In the recent years, the Calabria Railways are organizing a trip by the “Treno della Sila” from Moccone to San Nicola Silvana Mansio (the highest railway station in Europe). The line operate on the Cosenza – San Giovanni in Fiore line.
This narrow-gauge line become a great and important tourist attraction in this short section. In fact, the journey on historical carriages, dated 1932, driven by FCL steam locomotives, represents a great attraction for tourists and rail enthusiasts, fascinated by the landscapes that this railway crosses.
More recently begun the works for the modernization of the railway line that connects Silvana Mansio to San Giovanni in Fiore, and soon the trip will also reach this location. Thanks to the collaboration between Ferrovie della Calabria, the Association of Railways inCalabria, Gal Sila and the proponent municipalities, each journey becomes an exciting experience to which are combined music of authors and tasting of typical products.
Specialties: On the fertile lands of the Silan plateau there are various excellence that can be found in the local farms, in the restaurants and in the shops. These excellence honor the generosity of this territory. There are several typical products to be discovered and to be tasted: the Caciocavallo silano D.O.P., the Patata della Sila I.G.P. the Pecorino della Sila, the podolica meat, and the black pig of Calabria. However, the most famous typical plate is the “Coccìa”. The dish is made with pork, sheep and goat, and it is prepared with boiled wheat and salt, and then baked.

Sixty kilometers to go and the gap was around four minutes. Fifty and about the same, though right after the peloton picked up the pace and the gap started to drop. Forty to go and it was much closer to three minutes. As the gap dropped further, Carretero set out solo on the front. Strong work from Ganna would bring that group back together. Behind, the sprinters were being dropped from the main peloton. Also behind, some attacks from the group, including DeGendt.
Twenty five to go and it was a two minute gap to the main peloton with riders, including DeGendt, in-between.
Nineteen kilometers to go and DeGendt and company had reached the front. Their gap was only 1:30. There were five there: De Gendt, Rubio, Ganna, Carretero, and Zanardi. Seventeen kilometers to go and there were three: DeGendt, Ganna, and Rubio with just over one minute. Attacking was Ganna! Great ride from him today.
Fifteen kilometers to go and he has forty seconds, with 1:24 to the peloton behind. Absorbed back into the peloton, DeGendt and Rubio.
Twelve kilometers to go and Ganna had about a minute. He would descend solo into the mist. Ten kilometers, 47 seconds.
Behind, Nibali to the front of the bunch, which seemed liked a wise move for everyone involved.
Five kilometers, 51 seconds. The roads were looking very wet. Two kilometers, 38 seconds. Ganna was looking like he would win his first road stage since turning pro. What a great win. Truly a joy to watch.

The wine: Casa Comerci Calabria Bianco 'Rèfulu
From the importer: This family estate is located in the tip of the toe of Calabria in Italy’s deep south. Domenico Silipo and his sons carry on the work of Rosina Comerci, matriarch of the family in the first half of the 1900s. The family works exclusively with the native Calabrian varieties Magliocco Canino and Greco Bianco, which they farm organically on their 15 hectares (with another dozen hectares devoted to olive trees).Francesco De Franco from A’ Vita, Calabria’s most important natural wine producer, is an active part of the project. All wines ferment with indigenous yeasts, and all fermentation and aging is in stainless steel. Total annual production is 45,000 bottles.
The food: Nduja
Nduja is a soft spreadable that, as this article highlights, went from "what the heck is that" to "why is is everywhere" a few years ago. I think i may have first seen it at the no longer with us Boccalone. I would share a recipe, but although I am sure one could make it at home, I never have. Instead, maybe but some and try a few of the recipes here. Or even this one
Giro di Tavola! The recipe inspired by the Stage 5, "Fileja alla nduja" together with Chef in Camicia. Local wine selection by @GardiniLuca
