ROSALBA
DE CARLO
The success of Alle due corti Restaurant is due to Rosalba De Carlo's boundless passion for
the
traditional Salentine cuisine.
On
November 2008, to reflect the importance of the local culinary tradition and
culture, the University of Salento
chose
Rosalba as a case study in a conference with
the Patronage of Italian UNESCO Commission and ISNART, National Institute
for Tourism Research.
Since her childhood, always
in contact with the rural world, she succeded in understanding and appreciating
the soul of this culture by gastronomic art. Born from a noble
family, she grew up in two places, one her father’s village of Copertino
and the other her mother’s feudal estate in Santa Barbara. This estate
belonged to the Barons Andriani De Vito From Corigliano d’Otranto.
In
this way Rosalba was able to know not only the life of her noble mother, but
thanks to her curious and open nature was able to know the life of the peasant
families in their most authentic and genuine form.
Today,
thanks
to her restaurant, she has
the possi-

of
sharing with her guests her own experiences
and memories, that have been formed by the great sensa-tions and tastes
of the past.
