Ancel Keys's legacy: The Museo della Dieta Mediterranea in Pioppi, Italy.
A historical residence built in the mid-17th century by the Ripoli family near the beach of Pioppi, it was donated to the municipality of Pollica in 1986. In 1998, Palazzo Vinciprova opened to the public with the aim of presenting the typical marine habitats of the Cilento coast to the public in the Museo Vivo del Mare on the ground floor. It was then followed by the "Museo della Dieta Mediterranea", founded in honor of the American doctor Ancel Keys, who studied the diet of the local population for many years, discovering what is now defined as the Mediterranean lifestyle. The rooms contain videos, images, and texts that tell the story of the Mediterranean diet. The personal library of Dr. Keys, which the scholar donated to the Municipality of Pollica, is also located on the same floor. The Ecomuseum of the Mediterranean Diet also extends beyond the building, with trails, educational gardens on the Pioppi seafront, and immaterial projects. Visitors to Palazzo Vinciprova and the Ecomuseum of the Mediterranean Diet can also stay in vacation homes and accommodations in Pioppi, making it a convenient and enjoyable way to learn about the Mediterranean diet and the Cilento region.
