La taverna del Capitano

A Zero km Project

Tradition, inclusion and sustainability

The goal of the project is to open a new restaurant company aimed at promoting local cuisine and typical Umbrian products of excellence (cheeses, cured meats, black truffles, oil, wine, desserts, honey) to offer a zero km food and wine tourism experience.

The project is carried out with a focus on social and employment inclusion aimed at local communities (employment of people with Down syndrome, women and young people) to contrast the depopulation of the village.
