captiontk modena Kaitlyn Rosati I've spent a lot of time in Italy, and my favorite region for food is Emilia-Romagna. This part of the country is home to Parmigiano-Reggiano, Mortadella, and balsamic vinegar of Modena. I especially love eating truffles and tortellini whenever I visit. It's no secret that Italy has some of the world's best food. However, after visiting all 20 regions, I've learned that the country isn't one-size-fits-all when it comes to dining in la dolce vita. Each region has niche dishes and products that locals wear like a badge of honor, like mozzarella di bufala from Campania, pesto alla Genovese from Liguria, and arancini from Sicily. Although I would gladly choose to eat anywhere in Italy over any city in the US, Emilia-Romagna gets the gold for the best cuisine in the country. The region is home to delicious foods like Parmigiano-Reggiano This region is home to Parmigiano-Reggiano, among other exports. Kaitlyn Rosati From Parmigiano-Reggiano and balsamic vinegar of Modena to Prosciutto di Parma and mortadella from Bologna, Emilia-Romagna is home to some of Italy's most beloved exports. These are just a few of the products that are PDO and PGI-certified. This is a high standard in the world of food that signals an official link between a product and a region. Emilia-Romagna has 44 PDO and PGI products in total — more than any other Italian region. You'll also find some of the country's most famous restaurants here, like Osteria Francescana and Al Gatto Verde in Modena, and Trattoria da Amerigo in Savigno. Beyond the accolades and fancy titles, though, I believe that what makes Emilia-Romagna's cuisine a standout is simply the care and attention put into the food I've had here. After visiting the region at least twice a year for the past six years, I have yet to have even a subpar meal. You can get a taste of all the best parts of Italy, from cheese to truffles, in this one region In Savigno, you can hunt for truffles with the help of trained dogs. Kaitlyn Rosati In Italy, some regions just do certain products better. For example, Tuscany is famous for its red wine; meanwhile, many head to Piedmont for truffles, and Campania's tomatoes are top-notch. However, Emilia-Romagna really has a city or town for everything you could ever want on your plate. Savigno has a sign when entering that says "Cittá del Tartufo," which quite literally translates to "City of Truffles." A visit to Appennino Food Group, a food production group explicitly known for its truffle exports, is a great way to plan an afternoon of truffle hunting with trained pups. The company was founded by Luigi Dattilo, who, at 17, refused his father's offer of a car and asked for a truffle dog instead. As for tomatoes, Mutti, the famed canned tomato brand, has its headquarters in Parma. Plus, if you're looking to enjoy Parmigiano-Reggiano in its rightful birthplace, the only place in the world you can do just that is in Emilia-Romagna. Tortellini has some roots here, too. There was a long-standing debate between Modena and Bologna about who made tortellini first. However, a popular legend holds that tortellini originated in Castelfranco Emilia, a small town between the two hubs. Some Italians theorize that tortellini's shape was inspired by Venus's belly button after she spent a night at an inn in town. After years of visiting, I have some favorite spots in the region Tortellini in crema di Parmigiano at Franceschetta58 in Modena. Kaitlyn Rosati As someone who constantly craves a taste of Emilia-Romagna — and who spends a lot of time in Italy — I'm in the region often. I love trying new places, but I have a few favorite spots. One is Franceschetta58 in Modena, known for its decadent tortellini en Parmigiana crema dish (where, yes, I do lick the plate clean every single time). For something more traditional, I prefer Sfoglia Rina in Bologna for tortellini en brodo. In Parma, Salumeria Garibaldi is an ideal spot for a sip of Lambrusco, the region's most famed wine, paired with bites of prosciutto and mostarda. Meanwhile, an hour and a half away in Ferrara, check out Al Brindisi, a historic wine bar dating back to 1435, making it the world's oldest. Despite its prominent history, Al Brindisi has an unfussy feel, still preserving its medieval charm in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Pro tip: Order the cappellacci di zucca, or pumpkin-stuffed pasta, a staple of Ferrarese cuisine. Read the original article on Business Insider

(ANSA) - MADRID, 16 FEB - A raft travels through the three exhibition rooms of the historic Palacio de Abrantes, in Calle Mayor, with bright colors, decorated surfaces, and provocative ornaments that challenge conventional taste. It is from here, from the Italian Cultural Institute in Madrid, that 'Alchimia. The Italian Design Revolution', a retrospective dedicated to the Milanese collective active between 1976 and 1992, presented as part of the Madrid Design Festival. The exhibition, produced by the ADI Design Museum with the Brohan-Museum, arrives in the Iberian capital after Berlin and Milan, with a layout conceived as an immersive and symbolic journey through objects, furnishings, sketches, and photographs, on display until March 14. Founded by Adriana and Alessandro Guerriero—who was present at the official opening on Sunday evening and is the curator of the exhibition—Alchimia was a workshop of ideas, even before it was a workshop of objects. Guerriero defines it as "a cultural and artistic adventure, guided by a desire to critique beautiful design and functionalism," capable of expressing "both from a theoretical and practical point of view, a project to transform the environment in which people live." Among its protagonists were Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Scottsass, Andrea Branzi, and Michele De Lucchi. The exhibition revolves around the "carpet-raft," a symbolic device that invites the public to climb aboard "without worrying about the route," the curator explained to ANSA. "The exhibition testifies to the extraordinary ability of Italian design to become a cultural expression, a critical tool, and a language of international dialogue," noted the Italian ambassador to Spain, Giuseppe Buccino Grimaldi. He linked the event to the strategy of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani to strengthen exports and investments, with the goal of reaching €700 million: promoting design, he stressed, means enhancing "a constituent element of Italian identity." The exhibition, the ambassador also noted, is "an intellectual reflection, an invitation to overcome aesthetic homologation and industrial standardization through freedom of expression, irony, and experimentation." And "confirms the centrality of Italian design in the European landscape," which sees Italy as the leader with about 20% of the continent's turnover, €3.2 billion in added value, and over 46,000 operators, he noted. The director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Madrid, Elena Fontanella, recalled how design is "a cultural and economic pillar of Made in Italy." She added that participation in the festival confirms the institute's commitment to creating "relationships, diplomacy, and business" through culture. Fontanella also presented the first edition of Italian Design Week in Madrid, promoted by the IIcm and coordinated by Regina De Albertis, who, as artistic director, will also accompany future editions. Angelo Piero Cappello, Director General of Contemporary Creativity at the Ministry of Culture, highlighted design as "a feature of Italian culture made up of tradition, the culture of our past, but also imagination, improvisation, research, and innovation." During the evening of conviviality, paella, and flamenco, the talk—moderated by Regina De Albertis—featured Francesca Caruso, Councilor for Culture of the Lombardy Region, Adrea Cancellato, director of the ADI Design Museum, and architect and designer Patricia Urquiola Hidalgo. Caruso emphasized the economic importance of the sector in Lombardy—33 billion euros in value generated and 378,000 jobs—describing it as "a fundamental driving force." Cancellato echoed this sentiment, defining design as "the true Esperanto of creativity, capable of speaking to the world." Read article...
