The Days of Pomona: The Festival of Autumn and Fruit

Discover The Days of Pomona in Eboli! A journey through myth, nature and conviviality in my lemon grove. Discover the programme and October dates.

As summer gives way to autumn, the countryside changes its rhythm. Nature slows down, colours grow warmer, and citrus fruits begin to reach their full ripeness. In ancient Rome, this time of year was placed under the protection of Pomona, the goddess of fruit and gardens. Unlike the deities of the wild forests, Pomona represented dedication, patience and the constant care devoted to cultivated land, symbolising the deep harmony between farming and the cycle of the seasons.

Inspired by this ancient celebration and by a sense of gratitude for the generosity of the land, I organise The Days of Pomona every year. For me, this is not simply a series of events, but a true ritual of hospitality: an opportunity to open the doors of my lemon grove in Eboli, slow down and rediscover the pleasure of being together, surrounded by nature.

The Lemon Grove Experience: Nature, Workshops and Conviviality

During the mornings of The Days of Pomona, the lemon grove becomes an open space for discovery and sharing. The idea is to offer a relaxing break away from the frenzy of everyday life, where everyone can experience the countryside at their own pace, meet new people, discover local stories and traditions and reconnect with nature:

  • Inspiration and Creativity: Through workshops dedicated to mixology, outdoor painting, the art of making fresh pasta by hand and creative activities for children.
  • Walks Among the Rows: For those who simply wish to explore the lemon grove, guided tours are always available, offering an insight into our history and our organic farming practices.
  • Moments of Flavour: Each gathering ends around the table, sharing a brunch or aperitivo featuring specialities from our farm.
