A project developed in collaboration between MAECI and GialloZafferano, this initiative celebrates Italian cuisine as an expression of culture, identity, local territories and lifestyle. Following the success of the 2025 edition, dedicated to wellbeing, this new series offers a wide-ranging exploration of the values underpinning Italian cuisine, also in light of its inscription on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. For 10 days, a short video will be published daily on the Institute’s Instagram and Facebook channels, as well as on YouTube, through the links provided below.
Drawing on traditional recipes, ingredients and culinary practices, the series explores what makes Italian cuisine unique: conviviality, the relationship with local territories, the biocultural diversity of these areas, the promotion of local produce, seasonality, waste reduction, the transmission of knowledge and the connection between food, tradition and community.
