\u00abThe launch of the \u201cWeek\u201d represents an important combined effort of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the International Cooperation and of MIPAAF-Ministry for Agricultural Policies, Food and Forestry\u00bb, Consul General Antonio Verde stated, adding that \u00abin Los Angeles \u201cSistema Italia-Team Italy\u201d (Italian Cultural Institute, ICE Trade Agency, ENIT Italian National Tourist Board, and the Italian American Chamber of Commerce West) has joined forces with the Italian Academy of Cuisine and local Italian restaurants who have earned the Marchio \u201cQ\u201d and \u201cAIC\u201d trademark of excellence distinction. We have in store a special treat for this City, the world capital of cinema: for the entire week the restaurants will feature menus inspired by famous Italian films.\u00bb<\/p>\n

The link between cinema and cuisine in Los Angeles will be further strengthened by the contemporaneous happening of one of the prime annual events dedicated to the best of our cinematography production: Cinema Italian Style, organized by Luce-Cinecitta’. It will also be the occasion to officially introduce Hollywood to Gianfranco Rosi\u2019s \u201cFuocoammare\u201d, Italy\u2019s entry at the 2017 Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

Star Chef Cristina Bowerman, President of the Association of Italian Ambassadors of Taste, is tasked with translating the ideal blending of the two events into an unforgettable culinary experience. As the Consulate General\u2019s special guest for the \u201cWeek\u201d, she joins us from Italy thanks to the support of MIPAAF, ICE Agency and Consorzio del Grana Padano. Chef Bowerman has created the special menu celebrating the synthesis of flavors and creativity , of Italy\u2019s excellence in the culinary and cinematic arts for the Cinema Italian Style Gala.<\/p>\n

Cristina Bowerman will also be starring, with Los Angeles based Italian Star Chef Antonio Mur\u00e8 (Barrique Restaurant), at the reception that Consul General Antonio Verde will have at his official residence to showcase prestigious DOP products. The event is part of a specific promotional campaign aimed at bringing into the spotlight the extraordinary richness of Italy\u2019s gastronomy and at contrasting food counterfeiting and the all too common Italian Sounding phenomenon. High quality ingredients typical of the areas recently struck by a devastating quake in Central Italy will also be used as a gesture of solidarity and as a concrete help in revitalizing local economy.<\/p>\n

Many other events, coordinated by the Consulate General, have been organized on the occasion of the First Italian Cuisine in the World Week<\/p>\n

FIRST ITALIAN CUISINE IN THE WORLD WEEK – GENERAL CONTEXT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cFirst Italian Cuisine in the World Week\u201d is the inaugural edition of a new annual event focusing on the Italian culinary tradition abroad. The objective is to continue developing the themes successfully presented at Expo Milano 2015, and summarized in the so-called \u201cCarta di Milano\u201d: quality, sustainability, culture, food security, right to food, education, identity, territory, and biodiversity. Within this context, the aim is to express the highest levels of qualitative excellence. \u201cItalian Cuisine Week\u201d events take place during the second week of November, with a variety of projects locally planned and scheduled.<\/p>\n

The \u201cWeek\u201d is a joint project of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, (MAECI), and of the Ministry for Agricultural Policies, Food and Forestry (MIPAAF) which also involves the private sector. Chambers of commerce, cooking schools, Italian restaurants with quality certification, professional associations and all involved in securing the highest quality in Italian cuisine are also participating. The key players are, of course, the Italian chefs: from world renowned international chefs to young students in cooking schools, their involvement worldwide is instrumental in assuring that each event is of high value and fully representative of our cuisine.<\/p>\n

The First Italian Cuisine in the World Week is part of the activities aimed at supporting Italian agriculture and cuisine, the so-called \u201cFood Act\u201d. Presented on behalf of the Italian government by MIPAAF in July 2015, the Food Act is integral part of the Memorandum of Understanding for promoting the quality Italian cuisine abroad, underwritten on March 15, 2016 by MAECI, MIPAAF and the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR). The Memorandum also established a working group, chaired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, tasked with the coordination of the \u201cItalian Cuisine in the World Week\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the involvement of the 295 diplomatic Offices, Consulates and Italian Institutes of Culture that comprise MAECI\u2019s global network, the First Italian Cuisine in the World Week will include over 1300 events in 105 countries worldwide covering a wide spectrum of cuisine-themed activities ranging from conferences, seminars, debates on the culinary Italian tradition, meetings with chefs and master classes to promotional events with local Italian restaurants, trade fairs, cooking shows and classes, tastings and themed dinners, competitions, awards, screenings of films and documentaries and theatrical representations. Concerts, art shows, design and photography, as well as mass and social media communications related to cuisine complete the cornucopia Italy is offering to the world.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cStelle\u201d of Italian cuisine shining among the Stars of Hollywood from November 16th to 23rd the First Italian Cuisine in the World Week will mingle with the best of italian cinema at the Consulate General in Los Angeles the italian gastronomic excellences promoted throughout the world by the italian ministry of foreign affairs and mipaaf, […]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/conslosangeles.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/conslosangeles.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/conslosangeles.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conslosangeles.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conslosangeles.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/conslosangeles.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3901\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/conslosangeles.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conslosangeles.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
