'Chiacchietegli' is the local name for a variety of broccoli (Brassica oleracea) of purple colour and delicate taste
Broccoli are cultivated in the plain near the river Amaseno and the Priverno town area.
The seeds of this vegetable have been handed down from father to son.
The chiacchietegli are preserved in oil or are eaten fresh, especially in traditional soup 'Bazzoffia'.
Every year, the city of Priverno organises a festival dedicated to Chicchietegli Broccoli (sagra della Falia e Broccoletti).
