It is an initiative that allows citizens, producers and farmers to meet. The Earth Market of Boscoreale it is called Paniere Vesuviano because most of the producers are from Vesuvia and bring the products of Vesuvian agriculture – says councilor Miccio.

The producers will be present to talk about their work and commitment to safeguarding an agricultural variety of our heritage that was literally disappearing”.
