Ruvo del Monte, a municipality of just 933 inhabitants in Basilicata's Potenza province, stands as a prime example of specialized Italian agri-food.

Foremost is the Fagiolo di Sarconi IGP, a highly celebrated bean whose specific growing area encompasses only 100 municipalities, ensuring its unique characteristics are fully expressed.
