In this talk, I will discuss the construction of a family X of non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds over the Hitchin base associated with a given curve C and a simple Lie algebra of ADE type. I will explain that the relative intermediate Jacobian J^3(X) is isomorphic to the Hitchin system. The reference article available at https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0607159, has the same title as this talk.
