Certain elements define the identity of a community: traditions, places, festive moments, and shared values that intertwine the lives of those united by a common origin, nourished by the same roots. Each of these elements holds space in individual memory, forming a web of shared recollections that become collective memory.
The identity of the pucinari—the people of Pietrelcina—is deeply rooted in their rural heritage, shaped by generations of labor and love for the land. Over time, this has given rise to an agricultural landscape rich in ancient traces. Immersing yourself in it—at any time of the year—offers a refuge from the frenzy of daily life and a chance to reconnect with the natural rhythms of existence.
The best way to experience Pietrelcina’s rural landscape is by exploring its countryside on foot, by bike, or on horseback, following one of the marked trails.
