The Italian festival Il Mercatino del Gusto celebrated its 10th year this August. Organized by the Slow Food organization, the annual 4-day festival transforms the usually quiet town of Maglie, in the Puglia region of Southern Italy. The city’s streets lose their names and simply become La Via Della Gastronomia (The Street of Gastronomy), La Via Dell’Olio Extravergine Di Oliva (The Street of Extra Virgin Olive Oil), and La Via Della Pesce (The Street of Seafood), and thousands come to indulge in the traditional cuisine.
