On 28 October at 18:30, the church of San Michele Arcangelo in Ticciano, a hill settlement of Vico Equense, hosts “Venite, vedete, testimoniate”, an evening of solidarity with Palestine combining testimony, discussion of biodiversity and a tasting of Palestinian food.
The date is announced as 28 October. The source report gives different weekdays for that date in its headline and body, so readers planning to attend should confirm the weekday and final arrangements with the organisers before travelling.
Testimony from the West Bank and Gaza
The programme centres on testimony and reporting from Palestinian communities. It includes a report on the West Bank by Don Rito Maresca, testimony from Hameed Al Farra and Gaza families, and a contribution on biodiversity and sustainable agricultural practices.
The research identifies the programme and participants but does not provide an independent organiser page or separate confirmation of attendance. The report does not state whether booking is required, whether there is a cost, or how long the evening is expected to last.
Biodiversity on the agenda
Alongside the testimonies, the evening addresses biodiversity and sustainable farming. That focus reflects a wider effort documented by Slow Food in Palestine to preserve local crops, heirloom seeds and olive cultivation, and to pass agricultural and culinary knowledge to new generations.
In that documentation, everyday dishes become part of the conservation story. Slow Food points to examples such as Artas Valley lettuce used in tabbouleh, alongside work to safeguard heirloom seeds and local farming knowledge through community-led initiatives.
Olive cultivation has a central place in this picture. Slow Food describes the cultural significance of olive oil and ancient olive trees in Palestinian gastronomy, and community efforts to preserve biodiversity and local farming around them.
Flavours of the Palestinian tradition
The tasting is presented as Palestinian specialities, with tabbouleh, limonana, za’atar-topped focaccia, bulgur and ma’amoul listed in the announcement. Cremisan wines are also announced for the evening.
The announcement describes these as specialities to be tasted during the solidarity evening. For readers unfamiliar with Palestinian food heritage, the Slow Food sources place such dishes in a broader context of local crops, olive cultivation and community-led preservation of culinary knowledge, rather than as isolated recipes.
