Tasting Italy: Veneto, Umbria & Sardinia
$10.00
The most deeply rooted aspect of Italian culture is its regional differences. Every region has its own embroiled history of foreign invasions and influences which affected the artistic expression, culture, cuisine, and consciousness of its local populations. Yet many tourists, hustled along the deep-rutted route of Venice-Florence-Rome-Home, misled by guidebooks recommending one menu turistico after another, return home having seen little and tasted less. Della Croce’s talk will highlight the traditions and cuisines of three relatively undiscovered, yet richly unique, regions: Veneto, in Italy’s northeast; Umbria, the country’s great green heart; and Sardinia, the nation’s far-flung, primordial island midway between Africa and the mainland.
