Pietro Salonna
Pietro Salonna is an agricultural technician (perito agrario) and writes AgrumiShop's guides on clementines, oranges and Calabrian citrus.
He is the son of Andrea Salonna, farmer and owner of Azienda Agricola Salonna, which grows citrus fruit in Corigliano-Rossano, in the Sibari plain. It is a family-run farm that has worked the land for three generations.
In his guides he explains varieties, harvest seasons and how to choose and store citrus fruit, starting from what we see every day in our groves.
