Tradition

Season 6 Episode 606

If there’s one thing Italians love, it’s tradition; either revering it…or breaking it. Tradition gives us a foundation to fly; to create; to build on wisdom. Today, we’ll build on my Nonna’s traditional sweet holiday pastry and visit Altamura to discover one of the most beautiful Pugliese traditional breads…focaccia!
