The Italian Cuisine Week in the World closed in Hanoi with a series of street events during the weekend, which included demos by “food strategist” Stefania Corrado, concerts by the Mezzotono a'capella quintet and jazz singer Simona de Rosa, Serie A football matches broadcast live from Italy and menus prepared by Italian restaurants in the Vietnamese capital. The events enabled thousands of Vietnamese to get acquainted with the quality of the Italian culinary tradition and the properties of the Mediterranean Diet in a happy atmosphere open to families, companies and institutions.
The event also promoted the #HelpVenice campaign which draws particular attention in Vietnam, also because of the common exposure of their frail territories to the effects of climate change.
