Week of Italian Cuisine in the World
Week of Italian Cuisine in the World: from 20th to
26th November 2017, various dates and locations
(Auckland, Wellington,
Christchurch)
The Week of
Italian Cuisine in the World, an event coordinated by the
Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International
Cooperation, with the purpose of promoting Italy’s most
renowned exports: “the extraordinary Italian
taste” and the pleasure of eating together the Italian
way, reaches its second edition. Last year
this initiative took place in over 100 countries across the
world. This year, New Zealand is in the list of
participating countries, with a wide array of
events showcasing authentic Italian traditions, high-quality
products and regional specificities.
There will be
32 events across New Zealand, coordinated
by the Italian Embassy, in Auckland (Giapo, JK14 wines &
The Corner, Non Solo Pizza, Palazzo Italia, Pasta & Cuore,
Segafredo, Settebello, Dante Alighieri Society),
Wellington (La Bella Italia, Bel Mondo, Mediterranean
Foods, Cicio Cacio, Franziska, Bastardo, Pizza Pomodoro)
and Christchurch (Dante Alighieri Society, La Dolce Vita,
Casamassima): workshops, meetings with the chefs,
food-and-wine tasting and dinners, cooking classes. The
Italian cuisine will also be narrated through cultural
events, such as the screening of food related films and
documentaries.
Two initiatives,
strongly supported by this year’s Week of Italian Cuisine
and incorporated in some of the events, are particularly
meaningful: the candidacy of the Art of Neapolitan
pizzaiuoli as UNESCO Intangible Heritage, and that of
Le colline del Prosecco in Valdobbiadene’s site as
UNESCO World Heritage "cultural landscape".
The Embassy is hosting two events in Wellington: a mozzarella workshop with Massimiliano De Caro (Il Casaro), and a cooking class "Italy by Ingredient: Parmigiano" with Viola Buitoni, a San Francisco based native Italian leading food expert.
We invite you to make the most of what this week has to offer, immerse yourself into Italian culinary culture and, of course, buon appetito! #italiantaste
