In short<\/h4>

Here, you’ll learn all about the famous S\u00e8te speciality, the tielle! This specialty pie, brought to S\u00e8te in the 19th century by Italian immigrants from Gaeta, was originally a practical dish for fishermen, made with octopus, tomato and covered in dough. It became a staple in the town’s working-class neighbourhood,known as Petite Naples, where many Italians settled. The Dasse, Virducci and Cianni families played a key role in commercialising the tielle, making it a beloved local delicacy. Today, C\u00e9dric Annarumo continues this tradition with his unique creation, “La Giulietta,” featuring aubergine, Parmesan, and tomato sauce.

What does Le Pouffre mean?<\/h4>

If you’re familiar with the town of S\u00e8te, the largest fishing port in the Mediterranean, you’ll certainly be familiar with its Place de la Mairie, on which stands a magnificent octopus fountain known as the “Fontaine du Pouffre<\/em>“. The octopus, one of the town’s emblems, is called “le pouffre” in the vocabulary of the Languedoc fishermen.<\/p>

\"Place<\/p>

Place L\u00e9on Blum opposite S\u00e8te Town Hall, also known as Place du Pouffre by the locals, with its famous fountain sculpted by Pierre Nocca.<\/em><\/p>

The “Fontaine du Pouffre<\/em>” in Place L\u00e9on Blum answers a number of architectural, historical and political questions. In 1985, the mayor of S\u00e8te, Yves Marchand, wanted to transform what had been a dark, overgrown car park for 15 years into a place to meet and relax. The mayor commissioned Pierre Nocca to build a large fountain depicting an octopus. The subject chosen by Pierre Nocca, an octopus, is a reference to the tielle, a speciality of S\u00e8te, and to the history of art, where octopuses have appeared since Antiquity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
