I've traveled to all 20 regions in Italy. The whole country has great food, but one region is a step above the rest.

I've traveled to all 20 regions in Italy. The whole country has great food, but one region is a step above the rest.

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

At the Italian Consulate in Paris, a meeting between Italian students and OECD leaders

(ANSA) - PARIGI, 20 FEB - 'In an era of uncertainty, what tools can best be used to navigate future challenges?': this was the theme of the meeting at the Consulate General of Italy in Paris between senior OECD officials and around 100 Italian university students living in the French capital. Promoted by Consul General Jacopo Albergoni, in collaboration with the Permanent Representation of Italy to International Organizations and the Italian university student association UIS (United Italian Societies), the meeting, moderated by ANSA, allowed for an exchange on current issues such as artificial intelligence (AI), demographic aging, and the necessary adaptations of labor markets. "The role played by the OECD as a platform for multilateral cooperation and coordination is more important than ever," said OECD Deputy Secretary-General Fabrizia Lapecorella, addressing the hundred or so students welcomed at the Consulate. "Dialogue on economic policies and the definition of shared and internationally recognized standards," she added, "guide the policies of member countries and partners in navigating uncertainty." The initiative is part of the Italian Consulate in Paris's desire to support "young compatriots engaged in their path of growth and integration into the world of work, while promoting Italian know-how and Made in Italy and the role of Italians in Parisian international organizations." In France, "there are many young Italians and Italian speakers who study and embark on prestigious professional careers, thanks to their skills and a particularly appreciated approach to work," said Angelica Salvi Del Pero, Senior Advisor at the OECD and expert in Labor, Social Affairs, and Employment, illustrating the challenges associated with changes in the labor market.

Giorgia Meloni's strong poll numbers, a deceptive success

Although 71% of Italians believe their country is headed in the 'wrong direction,' Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, continues to enjoy significant public trust. High voter abstention, an aging electorate and a divided opposition contribute to this apparent paradox.
