The second edition of Identità Chicago has ended. The 2-day event included two interesting lessons (Heinz Beck with Andrew Zimmermann and Cristina Bowerman with Giuseppe Tentori), a crossover of flavours and Italian techniques mixed with Asian and even tropical inspirations and a dinner at restaurant Baffo inside Eataly Chicago (with Lidia Bastianich and Alex Pilas) with plenty of smiles. It all ended with Wine around, a tasting with wines selected by the Merano WineFestival, 38 producers from 14 different regions. A feast with interesting concepts, in a curious metropolis eager to learn and, most of all, eat well. Enjoy the photos by Serena Serrani and Celestina Ielmoni. See you next year.
