The Muraglia family, stubborn by choice

Have you ever heard the Italian word capatosta? Literally meaning hard-headed, it is a vernacular, and fairly expressive term used in Southern Italy to indicate a stubborn person. Savino Muraglia is a young producer whose family has been growing and processing olives for five generations in Andria, an Apulian village not far from Bari and the enchanting Castel del Monte. He wittingly uses this word to describe himself, and you can detect a hint of smugness in his face as he pronounces it.
