Exhibition “Pellegrino Artusi and the Italian unity in the kitchen” and cooking classes “La sfoglia di una volta”

Emilia-Romagna Region Promotional Events

Even more than a person, Artusi is a cookery book, indeed, the cookery book par excellence, at the very heart of modern Italian cuisine. With fifteen editions in twenty years, from 1891 to 1911, which were compiled and revised directly by the author, the book has since then been re-edited, copied, plagiarized and translated into many languages right up to the present day. Incredible luck for any book, even more so for a recipe book, a Manuale pratico per le famiglie (A Practical Manual for the Family), as written on the front cover of Scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiar bene (Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well). But it is precisely in these words that the key to such an overwhelming and unexpected success lies: a simple gastronomic programme that anyone can follow, summed up in the triad Igiene - Economia - Buon gusto (Hygiene - Economy - good Taste) which also dominates the cover. On these simple bases, Artusi put together the first Italian gastronomic profile in 790 recipes, which became a yardstick for all subsequent authors.

The exhibition illustrates Pellegrino Artusi’s life and work and the genesis of his renowned “practical manual” Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well.
