EPISODE 3

IL GRANO

MOLINI DEL PONTE

Il Perciasacchi

We are in the fields of Selinunte, where the remains of Magna Graecia rise on the horizon among the wheat stalks.
This clayey land, shaped by the sun and by the African winds, guards more than fifty varieties of ancient grains that modern agriculture has nearly condemned to oblivion.
Filippo re-cultivates them to save them from extinction, one by one.
Because choosing a rare seed here is not nostalgia: it is an act of resilience, of vision, and of responsibility toward the future.
