MUSEUM OF THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET
In the seaside village of Pioppi is a unique museum.
While it's focus is what has become popularized as the Mediterranean Diet, it also is a tribute to the man who made it an internationally famous nutritional style, Ancel Keys. The American physiolgist was an eclectic man who studied political science and economics before turning his focus to biology, oceanography, and human physiology.
Keys and his wife moved to Pioppi to live among a healthy population that enjoyed longevity-and to research what effects nutrition and lifestyle played in their wellness and longevity. Keys himself was an avid practitioner and lived to 101 years old.
