The Week of Italian Cuisine in the World is an annual initiative promoted abroad by the Italian network of Embassies, Consulates, Cultural Institutes and Italian Trade Agency offices. It is aimed at promoting Italian cuisine, Mediterranean diet and Italian quality products around the world.
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Pellegrino Artusi, father of Italian cuisine and author of the masterpiece “Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well,” the first cookbook to include fundamental recipes of Italian regions and give a unitary vision to Italian cuisine. In this context, the 5th edition of the Week of Italian Cuisine focuses especially on the roots of Italian culinary traditions, in order to explore their extraordinary richness and variety.
On the 10th anniversary of the declaration of the Mediterranean Diet as intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO, this edition focuses also on raising awareness on the health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet and its low environmental footprint. Sustainable cooking and reducing food waste can help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
