This has led artisans and, more recently, designers and architects to create refined, technologically advanced objects never before seen, which have become iconic pieces recognized worldwide and have become part of the history of Italian design." ~ Elisabetta Pisu https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/676bca40-b25f-11f0-b797-450f5eb69a3d-rimg-w993-h740-dc010101-gmir.png ABOUT THE SETTIMANA DELLA CUCINA ITALIANA NEL MONDOThe “Settimana della Cucina Italiana nel Mondo” (SCIM, Week of Italian Cuisine in the World) was launched in 2015 to promote fine Italian cuisine and our agri-food products. Thanks to the number and quality of events proposed around the world by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation’s foreign network, it has established itself as a regular event of great importance. During SCIM, seminars and conferences, meetings with chefs and culinary courses, tastings and dinners, accompany promotional activities. The story of Italian cuisine is also told through its projection in art, with movies, concerts and photo exhibitions. SCIM also includes discussions on topical issues, such as the relationship between food and environmental sustainability, the culture of healthy food, food safety, the right to food, food education, and territorial identity and biodiversity. This X edition is centered on “Cucina italiana tra salute, cultura e innovazione” (Italian cooking between wellbeing, culture, and innovation).ABOUT ELISABETTA PISU Elisabetta Pisu is a design curator with a background in sociology and cultural management.
