Now in its eighth edition, the Week of Italian Cuisine in the World is an integrated promotion initiative that aims to enhance the excellence of the Italian food and wine sector abroad, by supporting exports, internationalization and incoming tourist flows.
Over 9,200 initiatives have been organized in this context from 2016 to date by the network of Italian Embassies, Consulates and Cultural Institutes in more than 100 countries, which include in-depth workshops on the Mediterranean diet; meetings with economic operators in the sector; training and demonstration classes, as well as meetings with chefs. Among the over one thousand initiatives planned for the 2023 edition, “Italianismi nel mondo,” in collaboration with Casa Artusi; “Storia della cucina italiana a fumetti,” in collaboration with the Italian Academy of Cuisine; and a project to promote Italian olive oil and wine in Africa, in collaboration with Gambero Rosso, will be presented in many countries. The Conference will also be an opportunity to present the so-called “Cucina delle radici” initiative, in collaboration with La Cucina Italiana magazine, which will be implemented during 2024.
