Story
Thirty kilometers south of Naples is Gragnano, a town in the Campania area which surrounds Naples. Gragnano is the home of pasta since the Romans were there. Its unique water, which is light and very low on calcium, combined with the wind from the west driving up the valley with the proximity of the sea and the southern Italian sun, all aid in the production of perfect pasta. At one time, there were 150 pasta factories here, and 15% of all Italian pasta is still exported from this area. Gino grew up in Campania and his family still call it home. He visits a pasta factory where he watches and then joins in making Fusili, as it is still made by hand. He then visits a beautiful Cherry orchard, which has been in the same family for over 100 years, 400 m above sea level within the shadow of Vesuvius, and picks some for his dessert with cherries - cherry tiramisu. Finally, Gino cooks for his family for the first time.
