Andrea di Compito, strolling along the paths of the "Camelietum," where a guide will explain the characteristics of various camellia species and share the history of this ancient tradition.
The tour concludes at the Centro Culturale Compitese on October 12th and 13th and at the azienda agricola Alle Camelie on October 19th and 20th, where you will taste local products, including the extra virgin olive oil from the Compitese hills.
