Last Tuesday, Nov. 21, Robert Campo handed a visitor a small paper plate holding two perfect ravioli covered in a bright, fresh red sauce. The co-owner of Campo di Vino in South Barre said by the end of the holiday season, he’d be making 50,000 more of those raviolis, many filled with a nugget of local sausage, made from a recipe originating with his 98-year old father’s family in Italy.

Campo was one of seven area food producers who specialize in Italian cuisine at last week’s celebration of La Settimana della Cucina Italiana del Mondo (The week of Italian cuisine in the world) at the Old Labor Hall in Barre City.
