Tra le mura si custodisce la memoria, nel gusto si riconosce l'identità

Some places are visited. Others are understood.

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the social-promotion association VIBR_AZIONI APS is bringing back to Gioia del Colle an event that weaves together the great history of Frederick II with the area’s food and wine culture.

The itinerary begins at 10:00 a.m. with a guided tour of the imposing walls of the Norman-Swabian Castle, led by Benny Fanelli, a licensed tour guide and Vice President of the association. Taking advantage of the fact that it coincides with the first Sunday of the month, admission to the castle will be free for all participants, in accordance with ministerial regulations.

The tour will then continue in the heart of the historic center at the Terroir wine shop, for a guided sensory tasting experience: a moment of listening, awareness, and connection with the land through the guided tasting of a glass of Primitivo di Gioia del Colle, paired with locally inspired finger food. The culinary experience is curated by the President of VIBR_AZIONI APS, personal chef, and sommelier.

## Social Purpose and Fundraising

The initiative is organized as an occasional public fundraising event pursuant to Article 7 of Legislative Decree 117/2017. Proceeds from donations will support future social-inclusion and integrated cultural-promotion projects carried out by VIBR_AZIONI APS in the local area.
