http://dreamingsouth.it (Français plus bas) Turn up the volume! Videographer: http://simonkoba.wordpress.com Giovanni hosted the ten of us, international photographers and videomakers to visit his town, Cariati, to make reportages about the area. Giovanni acted as our tour guide and allowed us to taste many sorts of local dishes, wine, handmade icecreams. We learned the Tarantella dance. We visited a 1500 year old medieval tavern, a wine and oil production company (www.igreco.it), and an olive farm in the nearby town of Terravecchia. We even got to watch Francesco, a 3 stars restaurant chef, cooking fresh pasta, and to learn how to make gnocchi without eggs! The local food is (quasi) organic by tradition. There are pizzas with exquisite mushrooms and aubergines (I didn't film). The salads and fruits are heavenly! The sky is always blue. The weather (31° minimum) and the scenery are fabulous.

To listen to more of this: http://soundcloud.com/simkoba ===== Français ===== J'ai fait partie d'une équipe de 10 photographes internationaux, accueillie à Cariati par Giovanni à l'hôtel Antonio, en juin 2012. Le projet (http://dreamingsouth.it) était d'aboutir à des reportages photos et des vidéos pour promouvoir la ville de Cariati comme destination touristique. Giovanni nous a permi de goûter à toute sorte de plats locaux, de vins et de glaçes sans lait dites "diététiques". Nous avons visité entre autre une entreprise de production d'huile d'olive et de vins (www.igreco.it), ainsi qu'une ferme dans la commune voisine de Terravecchia. L'agriculture est biologique de par le quasi respect de la tradition. Le ciel était toujours bleu. La température pas plus basse que 31°, les paysages magnifiques. Juin 2012, Calabre, Italie http://simonkoba.wordpress.com Dreamingsouth.it is a web format that leads and inspires young creative individuals from all over the world for a dream week in the south of Italy. Creative individuals such as Bloggers, Journalists, photographers and videographers coming together with the aim of describing and portraying the territory through multimedia Arts, with a fresh outlook and a less formal approach. The philosophy is "live like a local", to live and travel, experiencing first hand and close contact with the locals, discovering the traditions and tasting typical products. The pilot took place in Cariati - Calabria, the land of hospitality and ancient traditions. The "Magna Grecia"(Great Greece) was chosen in order to rediscover its rich history and culture and introduce it to the modern world using an innovative communication platform and various multimedia contents.
