The historical Trabucchi of Gargano are centuries old and are recognized as historical and cultural heritage of the Puglia Region.
They were the undisputed protagonists of the fishing economy on the Gargano until the mid-twentieth century and have to tell a thousand stories of fishing, hard work, the hopes of generations of skilled fishermen and, above all, of human ingenuity stretched towards a friendly and generous sea but, at the same time, merciless and destructive.
On the trebuchet of Punta San Francesco you can watch and participate in fishing as it was once done (without engines, echo sounders, computers, etc.) helping the “Mastri Trabuccolanti” (guardians of the ancient art of building and fishing a trebuchet) to operate the winches, pull the nets and collect the fish.
In short, you can attend and be the protagonist of a unique show in the world: that of traditional fishing on a Historical Trabucco Garganico.
A small refreshment (rustic pizza, taralli, wine, olives, water) will be offered between fishing trips to chat more amiably.
