This is our first mobility to San Severo, specifically to the I.C. institute. G. Palmieri - San Giovanni Bosco with 1º and 2º ESO.
We arrived in the town on Sunday evening, June 2nd, so we met the Italian participants on Monday morning at the school.
When we arrived at the center, they welcomed us and showed us the facilities, making the students participate in this tour. Next, the students' parents prepared sandwiches and soft drinks for us for breakfast.
Once the morning was over, the families picked up the boys and girls and spent the rest of the day with the Italian families, in this way contributing to their immersion in Italian culture.
On Tuesday, June 4th, the students received a talk about bullying and cyberbullying showing the project they carry out at their school, called “Il bullo balla da solo”, to prevent bullying. Once the talk was over, all the students participated in the creation of a poster, which reflects that both schools are united in their fight against bullying.
Later, the students visited the Posto Faugno organic farm, located about 20 minutes from the town of San Severo.
They were able to recognize the typical crops of the territory, differentiate the wheat fields, vineyards and olive groves and learn about the planting of fresh vegetables such as basil, zucchini, asparagus, some types of broccoli, fennel, tomatoes, wine grapes, as well as legumes (white chickpea , black chickpea and red lentil), extra virgin olive oil, tomato sauce, pomegranate juice, cereals and flours from ancient varieties, all of them organic.
Our students tasted some of these products, such as bread, oil, cheese and pomegranate juice.
On Thursday morning, the Spanish and Italian students walked the streets of San Severo where they learned about some of the most emblematic places in the city, in addition to appreciating its history and heritage.
The students learned that a large part of the city of San Severo was destroyed by an earthquake in 1627, and therefore many of its churches had to be rebuilt. They also visited the Town Hall, which had been a convent, and on its principal door they were able to see two columns and notice their deterioration, as a result of the bombs during the Second World War. Another of the importants places of San Severo is the Giuseppe Verdi theater, where plays, classical music concerts, etc. are performed.
Finally they walked through the Villa Comunale "Luisa Fantasía" park, a meeting point for the young people of San Severo, having at its main entrance four statues representing Roman gods, among them Bacchus, god of wine since San Severo is an agricultural town so who used these figures as a symbol of abundance. Also next to this entrance is one of the oldest trees in the park, a palm tree that dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.
This was a very complete activity, working on the historical, cultural and environmental heritage of the town.
Our last visit was to Torremagiore.
At the entrance of the castle, the group was received by the Grupo Sbandieratori e Musici Fiorentinum where they enjoyed different dances with flags and music performed on drums, recreating the moments of communication on the battlefield where the armies could receive orders and report the attack to the troops using codes that the opponents did not know.
On the visit to Torremaggiore, the first stop was the Castello Ducale, one of the symbols of the city, where a castle guide told them part of its history. The students participating in this Erasmus mobility were able to enter the Throne Room and contemplate its frescoes, the old tower that served as a prison, and its archaeological museum with pieces that even date back to Roman times.
Next, thanks to two volunteers from the “Borgo Antico Torremagiore” association, they walked through the main streets of the old quarter of the city, where they were able to learn part of its culture and history, since Torremaggiore is known for being the place where the Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen.
