The knowledge of farmers testifies how man once had a strong link with nature: through the good care of the territory, he secured good and healthy food for the table. Women then, like today, cooked with the ability and desire to do good through attentiveness to the best products and treating food with care and respect. Typical Italian dishes will be prepared during the conference: tortelloni with ricotta cheese, rabbit with balsamic vinegar, and tagliatelle cake. (9Colonne)
