Wool Works May 2024

A full week of dedicated work on 'wasted' wool, using a mixture with 30% alpaca yarn, developed by Nathalie Comans of Ministry of Knits. Visits to the countryside of Arpino, meetings with sheep and goats, preparing lunches and dinners together, enjoying the Belsito House and Garden.

Opening and Food Event August 2024

Lovely gathering and celebration of the official opening of House Belsito, with local food producers, citizens, including the proloco, of the city of Arpino, friends, neighbours and all those people who helped to renovate the house.

We all enjoyed the festive drinks and food prepared from the local produce by dear friend and master chef Maher Al Sabbagh.

We listened and engaged in conversation on local produce, stimulated by regenarative farmer and land steward Camilla Linnaks Passani & visual artist and researcher Yeb Wiersma.

Right at the moment when Yeb Wiersma had started her talk on how the plant Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) was/is a symbol of saveguarding the possibility of fire, one of the food producers called that his land had caught fire.....fortunately not one homestead was damaged.
