He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him

There is no need to go all the way to Provence! To live a new experience in the lavender fields just go to Molise! Yes, it really exists, and it has some beautiful lilac-colored fields to admire.





Until now, no one had thought of cultivating lavender in Molise, but Gabriella Pastrolin Cianti, a strong and tireless woman, but above all always "full of initiatives and dreams", moved from Veneto to Larino in the 70s, dedicated to a new project, to create an agricultural reality that today is the Fattoria la Farfalla.

The baton was picked up by his son Giuseppe, owner of the family business, which deals, among other things, with the production of extra virgin olive oil, durum wheat flour, honey and lavender water, vegetables and soaps (obviously also these of lavender).

It is not Provence, but the splendid lavender fields… of Molise!

@Giuseppe Cianti

The idea of ​​coloring Contrada Monte lilac, where Fattoria La Farfalla is located, was born in 2017. A dream journey takes the mother to France, to that colorful and fragrant land that is Provence, where lavender is cultivated with passion and dedication according to rigorously respected ancient customs, from harvest to distillation.

So today 15.000 lavender seedlings have been planted in Contrada Monte in Larino. Not only does Molise really exist, but it is also preparing to obtain its first harvest of lavender!

“Have you always wanted to dive into the intense color and heady scent of a lavender field but haven't yet had the opportunity to visit Provence in France, famous all over the world for the fantastic purple expanses of its countryside? What if I told you that you don't have to go that far to grant this wish? Almost close to the sea, located in an uncontaminated position, in Contrada Monte at the Fattoria la Farfalla, and more precisely in Larino (CB), a town of 5000 inhabitants, a large extension of lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia Bio Provence) which delicately perfumes the air and colors the hill with a spectacular lilac that contrasts with the gold color of the wheat, the green of the olive trees, the white of the clouds and the intense blue of the sky ”, explains Giuseppe.



Here it is possible to enjoy the horizon painted by marvelous sunsets, with the most beautiful colors of nature, full of scenarios where centuries-old olive trees, fields of wheat, corn and sunflowers and above all… lavender reign!
