My name is Teresio Luigi Mariani and in July 2019 I decided to go from the region where I was born, the Aosta Valley, to my ancestors’ region of origin, Abruzzo, in order to relive the raison d’être of their life and the love for the countryside. I did it by setting up “Teresio Luigi Mariani” farm in my mother’s village, Ripa Teatina – on the hills surrounding the city of Chieti – and by launching the brand “Ripa de Teti”.
