ARTUSI

Emilia-Romagna Region Promotional Events

Published in 1891 at the author’s expense, the success of the book “Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well” was as unthinkable as it was overwhelming. During the following 20 years, the author himself worked on 15 editions and the “Artusi” (by then simply called by the author’s name) became one of Italy’s best read books. The last few editions of the manual, a true watershed in modern gastronomic culture, collects together 790 recipes and still today counts a large number of editions and enjoys widespread circulation.
The approach is that of a teaching manual (“I practice using this manual,” wrote Artusi, “one simply needs to know how to hold a ladle”), and recipes include considerations and short stories which make Artusi’s manual a masterpiece of wit and wisdom.

A conversation on the famous "practical manual" by Giordano Conti, president of Casa Artusi, and Klaus Kempf, director of the Munich Digitization Center - Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.
