SPAGHETTI ALL'ASSASSINA

Gli spaghetti all'assassina sono un piatto tipico della cucina barese, famoso per il suo sapore deciso e piccante. Il nome "assassina" si riferisce al carattere forte e audace del piatto, che viene preparato con spaghetti cotti direttamente in una salsa di pomodoro piccante, rosolata fino a diventare quasi caramellata.

Il trucco sta nel fatto che gli spaghetti, anziché essere lessati separatamente, vengono tostati nel pomodoro, assorbendo tutto il sapore e diventando croccanti ai bordi. Vengono poi aggiunti peperoncino, aglio, olio d’oliva e a volte un po' di brodo per ottenere la giusta consistenza. Il piatto è un’esplosione di sapori intensi, ed è perfetto per chi ama i cibi piccanti e saporiti.

One of these words is undoubtedly papagna.

What emerged was no longer a technical issue, but a question of identity itself. Where should a community place its sense of time? And in what form can time tell its story?

Roots Across the Ocean

In 2004, Gary arrives in Turi with his wife Margot. He is not a tourist, nor a casual visitor. He is a man searching — for answers, for faces, for traces. He is trying to give meaning to a story that, for years, had been built more on assumptions than on certainty. Waiting for him are familiar hands, those of his cousin Maria and her husband Franco Cannataro, quiet custodians of a piece of that past. When he steps into his grandparents’ home, in Via Nardelli 11, time seems t
