PRAISE OF BREAD
"Give us back the bread!": that is how Dino Buzzati thundered from the columns of the "Corriere d'informazione" in 1957 (in an article now reprinted by the publisher Henry Beyle) recording the decline of genuine bread in favor of modern sophisticated alterations and disguises. Bread, a product that seems humble and daily, tells a story - as we will discover in this meeting - of our cultural evolution much more than we imagine.
Speakers: Francesco Piero Franchi (Honorary Academician of the Italian Academy of Cuisine) and Franco Zambotto (former Delegate of the Italian Academy of Cuisine). Moderator: Lorenzo Viganò. Readings: The Outlaws.
