Castel di Sangro: The Giro suggests an outing: The great out-of-town attraction of Castel di Sangro is the Abruzzo trans-Siberian, a fascinating experience, panoramic and at low speed, aboard a vintage train with restored carriages dating back to the early twentieth century. The historic train on the Sulmona-Isernia railway is a real museum in movement inside and outside the window, a showcase of a still authentic territory between Abruzzo and Molise and crosses two national parks and a nature reserve: the Majella National Park, the National Park.
Campo Felice/Rooca di Cambio: The local tourist site tells me that: It is the highest commune of the whole Appennino, since it is situated at a height of 1,434 metres above sea-level. Nowadays Rocca di Casmbio has 478 inhabitants and has made a name for itself as a tourist and a winter sport resort which many people also prefer as their summer holiday destination.
Giro specialties:
Castel di Sangro: Among the typical dishes to try: Cazzarielli and faciuli (fresh pasta and beans), pasta con gli orapi (fresh pasta with wild spinach) , pecora al cotturo (sheep wet)
The Pigna cake is a golden-brown donut, made from a long leavening process, softened by lard and flavored with aniseed. Other sweet is fafette, made from cooked wine must, also known in the Abruzzo tradition as mostaccioli. A local beer is also produced in Castel di Sangro, it’s called “Eva” from the Abruzzese Brewery.
Campo Felice: From the sheep tradition Agnello in umido (Lamb wet) , Cardo in brodo (Thistle in broth), frittata agli orapi (omelette with wild spinach), Castrato con le patate (wether with potatoes) and the Pizza sfogliata (pizza puff pastry): flour, lard and eggs, simple ingredients for the puff pastry, a typical dessert of Rocca di Cambio. A poor dish of the local culinary tradition. The pizza sfogliata was cooked to pay for the journey of the deceased would have made to the afterlife, and during the wake a piece was also cut to pay homage to the deceased.
The stage: Another day with a crazy start, including a scary crash from Mohoric, who was taking the hospital with a concussion.
The break of the day had some big names.

Thirty kilometers to go and the gap was down to 2:13, as the front group was attacking each other.
Twenty kilometers to go and the gap was 2:37. Bouchard and Carr had seventeen seconds over the rest of the break. Plus, it was raining.
Still to come was the final climb of the day. Would the gc riders attack or would this be another day for the break? It looked like it would be close.
Four kilometers to go and Bouchard had 26 seconds to the nearest chasers are about 1:30 to the main peloton.
Valter, in pink, was not looking strong.
Three kilometers to go and the gc group caught the chasers. Bouchard had 56 seconds, as everyone disappeared into the tunnel.
As they came out, Bouwman had essentially caught Bouchard. The peloton was under a minute back as they arrived at the gravel road.
One kilometer to go and it was at 24 seconds. Valter was dropped!
There came the catch and Bernal flew by. Wow.
He would win the stage with a real gap.

More pink! This is one I could imagine buying by the case and enjoying all summer.
The importer tells me that: Agricola Cirelli is an organic farm certified by IMC (doc. n.3194 RV.01), surrounded by 23 hectares of land. All of its production is designed to respect the natural cycles of the olive trees, vineyards, horticultural crops and the animal breeding. Crop rotation, natural fertilization, and free range animal grazing are Agricola Cirelli’s “techniques” of production. This harmonious environment creates olive oil, wine, vegetables, fruit and meats of supreme quality.
The farm grows its food and wine in total respect of organic agriculture. Nature sets the rules and it dictates the rhythm of every activity. The animals’ interaction with the land offer natural grazing and fertilization of the vines, which means there is no need to use harmful chemical substances.
The food: Time to read a bit more about Pizza sfogliata.
