A number of special events are being organised in Malta to mark the second edition of the Settimana della Cucina Italiana nel Mondo between tomorrow and next Sunday. The aim of the week is to promote Italian culinary traditions and food-and-wine connoisseurship as distinctive traits of Italian identity and culture.
The initiatives of the week are being organised according to the principles of quality, sustainability, culture, food security, the right to food, education, identity, territory and biodiversity.
For this year’s edition, the Italian Embassy and the Italian Cultural Institute are collaborating with the Maltese-Italian Chamber of Commerce, the Accademia Italiana della Cucina, Associazione Italiana Sommelier, Istituto Alberghiero Olivetti, Camilleriparismode, La Cantina Restaurant and wine-cellars Al-Cantara and Gambino vini.
The project is part of the initiatives within the Plan for the extraordinary promotion of ‘Made in Italy’ brands, launched by the Italian government to boost the export and the distribution of authentic Italian food and wine products and falls within the objectives of the Strategic Plan for Tourism 2017-2022. This plan aims to promote less renowned Italian regions abroad.
