Acciaroli, a fishing village that has always welcomed travellers and sailors. In the 1950s, the writer Ernest Hemingway visited the village and was fascinated by it. At the same time, he was inspired for what would later become his greatest work, “The Old Man and the Sea,” thanks to his close friendship with a local fisherman known as “u vecchio.” In the 1960s, Ancel Keys, a biologist and physiologist, moved to Pioppi. For over 40 years, he carefully studied the diet of the local population and thus came to the conclusion that this diet had health benefits. Today, the Mediterranean Diet is part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
