Story
The last leg of his journey takes Gino to Puglia (modern Apulia) and neighboring Basilicata, the southern Italian home of hard wheat. Gino learns how people there still bake traditional hard wheat rustic bread with thick crust that makes the bread last longer. Then, Gino visits the surreal ancient ghost town of Sassi di Matera, where people used to live in cave dwellings until being forcibly relocated in 1952 due to rampant diseases, extreme poverty and overpopulation. Now, a restaurant there serves dishes in the old Italian tradition of 'cucina povera' (or 'poor cuisine'). Gino tries one - soup made of wheat and chickpeas. Inspired by this, he prepares his own 'poor cuisine' recipe - cannellini beans on bruschetta. Finally, Gino visits Alberello, the home of strange stone houses called 'trulli,' which are a real draw for tourists. He explores their history, and makes a delicious sandwich from rustic bread stuffed with salami, cheese and cooked vegetables.
