THE NEW FOOD CULTURE: A GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY for the agile & fast

[STARTING FROM ITALY]

CONNECTED CULTURES http://www.connectedcultures.com/

“THE FUTURE OF MADE IN ITALY LIES IN THE STORYTELLING OF LOCAL EXCELLENT HARVESTERS AND CHEESE AND SALAMI PRODUCERS. WE NEED TO BUILD ON THE MYTH OF PRODUCTS THAT ARE UNIQUE IN THE WORLD, LIKE

BALSAMIC VINEGAR FROM MODENA DOP, AND CONNECT THEM WITH TOUR OPERATORS AND TOURISM PROMOTION. THE TIME OF CELEBRITY CHEFS IS AT THE END, HERE COMES THE TIME OF MEMORABLE TRADITION”
