Description

This photograph from 1920 shows a group of farmers from Tivissa with baskets full of grapes, in full harvest. It is a visual testimony to the importance of viticulture as an economic and cultural engine of the Catalan rural world. The production of wine, of Mediterranean origin, has been key in shaping the European economy and forms part of its gastronomic heritage. This image, preserved in the Regional Archives of Ribera d’Ebre, reflects the dignity of agricultural work and the transmission of ancestral knowledge. It is also an example of how wine culture connects the territory with European identity, through tradition, sustainability and community.
