CampaniAlleva: Celebrating Rural Landscape and Heritage at Southern Italy's Largest Livestock Fair

From April 19 to 21, on the occasion of 'CampaniAlleva', the largest livestock fair in Southern Italy, the Archeoclub of Benevento, in collaboration with the Terre Magiche Sannite Foundation, set up an unprecedented photographic exhibition on the history of the rural landscape of Sannio, through both archaeological finds and historical documentation. This exhibition is also an opportunity to present the 'Manifesto for the Protection of the Rural Landscape', drafted by the Archeoclub of Benevento, a document that aims to raise public awareness, but also that of political decision-makers, about the need for a broader concept of protection, one that does not exclude the most characteristic feature of our territory: its history and agricultural vocation, with all its signs and characteristics, including plant and livestock aspects. Since the fair coincides with the 'From Village to Village' day, which falls on April 21, the Archeoclub has proposed the village of Olivola as the national village to visit. The Benevento section of the Archeoclub is thus available for visiting the village, a place that has significant environmental features, but also important historical memories, since the Latin way passed through here and here, in 1266, the clash between Manfredi of Swabia and Charles of Anjou took place. The site is open for free visits throughout the entire day. Free shuttle buses are available connecting the city to the village, and many dining options are available on site.
