VISIONS Italian Ecoway of Lyfe is a project of the Italian Cultural Institute of Melbourne that develops five themes starting from a new idea of ecology from the perspective of the Deep History. Featuring 38 Italian prominent experts including anthropologists, architects, artists, nutritionists, scientists, chefs and other professionals that tell us about another possible way of life in a video series around Italy. The series, conceived by Angelo Gioè, is curated by Maurizio Corrado.
VISIONS because in the Anthropocene it is vital to start again to imagine not only other possible worlds, but above all new systems to survive in the only world we know.
VISIONS as imagination, project, utopia, desire.
VISIONS explores possible Italian ways to ecology, where beauty is constantly taken into account. The word lyfe refers to the new concept of life proposed by the scientific community to broaden the concept of life, opening new perspectives of thought.
VISIONS presents an idea of ecology that has as travel companions no longer sacrifice, but beauty, pleasure, well-being and the development of life in constant relationship with other different forms of life and with the environment.

For thousands of years, we humans have been the favorite food of some large animals. For Dinofelis, a large saber-toothed feline, a good meal of Homo Sapiens was the best they could hope for. Then we realized that if we had faced him as a group we could have won. There are actions that we have always carried out in groups, eating is one of them. Since we have been using fire, eating and telling are two indissoluble actions.
VISIONS shows how for a healthy and sustainable diet it is essential to combine the nourishment of the body with that of the mind through conviviality, sharing, storytelling. We compared the opinions of nutritionist Maurizio Sentieri and Professor of Food and Sustainable Human Nutrition Donato Angelino at the University of Teramo, who with his team has developed a pasta that not only does not make you fat, but also increases physical well-being. They tell us about the Mediterranean diet, functional foods, nomadic breads.
We can see how in Italy tradition is combined with scientific research and art, and how to prepare some traditional Italian dishes. But, mind you, this episode makes you hungry!
