Italian term or phrase: il vigore e la natura della stessa terra da cui traggono origine
This sentence has been driving me crazy! Can anyone help me finish it?

Un paesaggio affascinante che l’uomo arricchisce con ulteriori colorite e piacevoli iniziative: sagre, fiere, feste religiose che allietano il turista accostandolo alla raffinata gastronomia locale, rivelandogli tutto un mondo in cui la fragranza e la genuinità dei prodotti rispecchia la luminosità, **il vigore e la natura della stessa terra da cui traggono origine.**

I need it to make sense in the sentence. TIA!

, as well as their earthy and natural vitality
Explanation:
