About the Event
Siamo lieti di invitarvi a un incontro online con Alessandro Marzo Magno, scrittore e storico della cultura italiana, per una conversazione affascinante sul ruolo centrale del cibo nella costruzione dell’identità italiana.
La cucina italiana, da sempre aperta al mondo, ha saputo accogliere ingredienti e tecniche provenienti da altri paesi, reinventandoli con creatività e maestria. Una cultura gastronomica che si nutre di contaminazioni, che cresce attraverso il viaggio e l’incontro con l’altro.
Un’occasione per riflettere su come il “genio del gusto” italiano abbia saputo mescolare l’esotico con il familiare, trasformandolo in patrimonio condiviso e diffondendolo in tutto il mondo.
L’incontro si concluderà con una sessione di domande e risposte aperta al pubblico.
Vi aspettiamo numerosi!
