The bar is a healthy snack made with local ingredients: Carosella del Pollino wheat and Percoca di Sant’Arcangelo. After the slot dedicated to the Cosetta bar, the president of the Region Vito Bardi greeted the girls of the Nitti institute, accompanied by teachers Vigna and Candela. Another experience presented, born from a project of the ‘Io Potentino’ association and created by the Lucanian brewery Basilisca, is the creation of ‘166, solidarity and inclusive anti-waste beer’ which uses unsold bread from bakeries. The proceeds from the Cosetta bar will be used to finance school projects and infrastructure, while the proceeds from the 166 beer will be used to support disadvantaged families. Peppone Calabrese, spokesperson for the Region, spoke in a monologue about the beauties of the area in the live event which was held yesterday in the Rai Auditorium in Turin.
