What happens when a group of young people decide to return to the land by implementing a sort of “circular revolution” that is based on the value of time and not just that of money? And what happens if those young people take over arid land and manage to reclaim it thanks to the arid farming that the elders of the town were talking about? The story of Karadrà is this but not only: it is passion for one’s land, it is the transformation of seven hectares of land into Aradeo tomato cultivation but also a place of exchange and sociality. “What we did was not only recover a piece of land, but also a history that was being lost.” “South! Vostok100k along the South Cultural Routes” was a journey traveled aboard the Vostok100k (www.vostok100k.com), the old 1982 camper of Lorenzo Scaraggi, journalist, reporter. Lorenzo Scaraggi crossed Puglia, Molise, Campania, Basilicata and Calabria in search of anthropological, ethnographic, historical stories, traditions and all those intangible cultural assets of which the south is rich. South Cultural Routes is an excellent project of MIBACT in collaboration with the Puglia Region, Molise Region, Basilicata Region, Calabria Region and Campania Region.
