L'ultimo pastore della Majella - Domenico Di Falco Parte n°1

A beautiful day spent together with a dear friend, l 'last pastor was on our Majella, Domenico Di Falco, orginario of Fara San Martino, a village at the foot of the Majella, famous not only for its impressive gorges, especially for its pasta factories . De Cecco, Del Verde, Cocco known throughout the world for their outstanding products. Domenico residence from March to October in some caves near the plateau of Plan of House at about 1800 meters above sea level, one of the most beautiful amphitheatres of 'whole mountain just reached the village of Fara in a 3-hour walk. Just the way that most days Domenico fulfilled, even several times a day. to supply food to its cave. His days are punctuated by the rhythm of nature, because in its caves there is neither electricity nor water. To overcome this, each day brings water from a source close them to a walk half an hour. His day starts early with milking the goats and sheep, then off to the pasture in the company of his faithful dogs to help in overseeing the flock. The afternoon is devoted to the realization of cheese with fresh milk. Cheese, one of the most delicious I've ever eaten. Fresh with the scent of mountain pasture herbs, natural flavor, try it! A sincere man, good, generous, always ready to give a 'auito to those in need. A real person of the past that made the mountains his home, his lifestyle; I think who better embodies the beauty of our mountains.
