MACREDDIN VILLAGE TWINS WITH ITALIAN VILLAGE OF ARMENTO


 

On Sunday August 02nd, Macreddin Village was twinned with Armento Village, from the province of Basilicata in Southern Italy.

A special celebration was organised by the Mayor of Armento and the residents of Armento, the Armentesi, and took place in Macreddin Village on the afternoon of Sunday, August 02nd.

They brought their Italian Farmers market to our Macreddin Village Market… a fabulous heady mixture of Irish raw Milk cheeses side by side with an Organic Raw Milk Buffalo Mozzarella stall, Denis Healy’s Organic Vegetables across the street from Francesco Canosa making real Pasta, Jenny and Peter Young's Produce competing with Giuseppe Solimando making fresh cheese.

Unlike any other twinning that has been done before in Ireland, this is the perfect twinning of two Villages that have become totally dependent on each other.

Armento Mayor, Franco Curto presented Macreddin Village with a plaque to celebrate this.
