The plain and first mountains between Turin and Canavese

The rural and agrarian landscape

The Turin underground area is heterogeneous, from flatlands to hilly areas; it is made up of the Upper plains of Turin, which form the principle level of the lowland territories and the Po, Sangone, Dora, Ceronda, Stura, and Malone waterways that have deeply carved out the area.

The central element of the territory is made up of the city of Turin, which merges with the Upper Plains. The areas used for farming activities persist in the peri-urban areas, but are becoming increasingly uncertain because of the sudden changes in the destined use of the area..

On the other hand, as we move away from Turin, an analogous process by the Stura di Lanzo River has created flatlands on which now stand the centres/towns of Borgaro, Leinì, Caselle, and further north, S. Maurizio C.se, Cirié, Nole, Grosso, and Mathi, which is the end of the metro line. In these territories, despite the substantial expansion of urban settlements, sections of beautiful agrarian landscape still endure, and which have always focused on grassland and rotation farming.

Even in the area of Turin, there are flatland territories that can be traced to the middle plains that form Lower Canavese to the north of Turin, while to the south these flatlands make up the surrounding area of Stupinigi. The abundance of water, a common element in the Lower Canavese territories, is such that its use is never restricted for agricultural purposes and appears as a dense irrigation network marked by tree-lined avenues that define a large part of its rural landscape dominated by the cultivation of maize, often in rotation with grassland farming.

The river network of Turin is closely linked with the flatlands that surround it.

The territories of the Rivoli-Avigliana moraine are less steep and have better exposure so agriculture activities are still possible despite the wavy morphology and its closeness to the city of Turin, thus affecting the agrarian landscape which often seems marginalized.

The eastern border of the territory, a hilly area between Trofarello and Gassino T.se, encompasses a wide strip of land characterized by two types of landscapes: to the north, are dense forests and steep slopes where agriculture is almost nonexistent; to the south, the areas continue to be used predominantly for agriculture such as those that descend towards the Poirino Plateau, mostly for the cultivation of cereals, grassland farming and fruit, and vegetable and flower farming.

Of particular interest are the forests of Mandria, Stupingi and Merlino, the hilly forest environment of the hills of Turin, from the Maddalena Park to Superga, the river network of the Po River with its tributaries, Sangone and Stura, and the Meisino Reserve, the urban section of which still maintains certain naturalness and is home to different animals.

Preparation

Fate passare le animelle sotto l'acqua corrente per un quarto d'ora poi sbollentatele, scolatele, passatele sotto l'acqua fredda, privatele della pellicina che le ricopre e tagliatele a fettine.
Mettete le creste e i bargigli in una casseruolina, coprite di acqua, salate e ponete sul fuoco.
Appena l'acqua risulterà quasi bollente, levate il recipiente dalla fiamma, scolate il tutto, versate su un canovaccio pulito, spolverate di sale fino e strofinate con le dita in modo da eliminare completamente la pelle che ricopre le creste ed i bargigli.
Sciacquate e mettete il tutto a cuocere in acqua leggermente salata insieme ai duroni ben puliti, finchè inizieranno ad essere teneri.
Sbollentate per un minuto i testicoli di pollo; fate la stessa cosa con i fegatini ed i filoni dopo averli puliti e tagliati a pezzetti regolari. Dalla fetta di carne
ricavate otto pezzetti regolari.
Ponete sul fuoco un largo tegame con il burro, l'olio e la cipolla, lasciate appassire, aggiungete i pezzetti di carne infarinati, salateli e fateli rosolare leggermente. Unite poi le creste, i bargigli, i filoni, i testicoli di pollo, i duroni, i fegatini, le animelle e la granella.
Dopo alcuni minuti di cottura (prestando attenzione affinché gli ingredienti non attacchino sul fondo) aggiungete i funghi tagliati a pezzetti, irrorate con l'aceto ed il Marsala, lasciate evaporare, aggiungete il brodo, regolate di sale e pepe, cuocete per circa 5 minuti a fuoco moderato in modo che i sapori si amalgamino ed il fondo di cottura risulti ben legato quindi servite ben calda.
