ZAMPINA

LA ZAMPINA TURESE, L'ORIGINE

Una delle tante specialità culinarie turesi, è la “zàmbìne de Tùre”, da non confondere con quella di Sammichele di Bari.

Quella di Turi, è fatta rigorosamente per metà con carne bovina e metà carne ovina o caprina. Prima dell’insacco, rigorosamente nel sottile budello ovino o caprino, all’impasto di carne si aggiungono, formaggio nostrano grattato secondo il gusto, sale, prezzemolo e pepe macinato.

Assolutamente bandito l’uso di pomodoro, peperoncino, aglio e marsala, utilizzati spesso per correggere materie prime non eccellentissime. La cottura avviene solitamente alla griglia o sulla brace di legna, che le conferisce un sapore affumicato ed intenso.

La zampina è un piatto da festa, spesso servita durante sagre e occasioni speciali, accompagnata da pane casereccio e da un buon bicchiere di vino primitivo. È un piatto che esprime la semplicità ed il legame con la tradizione contadina di Turi, ed è perfetta per essere gustata in compagnia. In sintesi, la zampina turese è un piatto rustico e saporito che incarna la cultura gastronomica della Puglia, un must per chi vuole scoprire i veri sapori locali.

When Papagna Comes

In the dialect of Turi there are words that seem simple, almost ordinary, yet they hold remarkable stories within them. They are words born from everyday life, from work in the fields, from family customs and from that popular wisdom which, for centuries, was passed down not through books but through the stories of elders. One of these words is undoubtedly papagna.

When Time Takes Shape: The San Giovanni Clock Tower and the Measure of a Community

In Turi, time ceased to be merely the passing of hours when it lost its point of reference. The old clock on Via Sedile, by then silent and distant from the beating heart of the town, became the symbol of an absence: it no longer marked the hours, guided daily life, or represented the community. 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
