American Academy's Rome Sustainable Food Project visit Civitella

On Sunday, July 15, 9 staff and interns from the American Academy's Rome Sustainable Food Project came to visit Civitella.  After an overview of the Foundation by Executive Director, Dana Prescott, the group was escorted by Fellows' Coordinator, Diego Mencaroni, for a tour of the Castle and grounds.  All were then welcomed to the kitchen by our head chef, Romana Ciubini, who talked about Umbrian foods, the summer tartufo in particular, and the menu planned for lunch.

 

 

 

The group dined with our Civitella Fellows and then toured the orto and garden before heading off for an afternoon swim.
