Three evenings at the Circolo Ricreativo A. Naldi in Poggio La Malva, Carmignano, to learn how to recognise wild field herbs and bring them into the kitchen. The course is free and no registration is required; it is organised by the Gruppo ATTIVAmente Spazio alla Conoscenza with the Comune di Carmignano. Each meeting starts at 9 pm and covers a group of plants: from bitter radicchio and wild turnip to strigoli, cicerbita, nettle and salvastrella. Giacomo Petracchi, agronomist, handles the scientific part; Marcello Matulli recounts tradition and stories from afar; Vittorio Cintolesi takes care of special notes and herb recipes. The programme also includes field trips, to be scheduled during the course.
