Exciting, engaging, charged-up, educational: these four adjectives describe one of the most edifying experiences in my career. The plan for my trip to Milan initially included the now traditional, and always rich in inspiration, stop through the stands and the lectures at Identità Golose. Then, with some colleagues met thanks to social networks or simply on the phone, between one chat and another we created a dinner prepared by 6 people to which some extra 6 minds were added: this is how the 6+6 dinner-event at Enocratia was created and planned for Sunday 10th February.

And the prize-giving was breath-taking! In front of me there were loads of people who waited for me to speak. They weren’t there for me exactly, but for Massimo Bottura who was to arrive just after me... But I pretended they were there for me and the emotion assaulted me from the tips of my feet up to the top of my head. It was educational, charged-up, engaging, exciting! I returned to my Sannio aware that I had learnt all that was possible there and that I had exported a little of my land and my food philosophy.

And then there’s a sentence that at every instant resonates in my head: “Head down, lets build the foundations together for we could be a future point of reference”.
