The present and future of Italian cuisine – this was the theme discussed this morning in Palazzo Reale in Milan. Three world renowned chefs – Gualtiero Marchesi, Massimo Bottura and Davide Oldani – debated on this together with three experts, namely Rosanna Binacchi, the International Relations manager for the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism; Oscar Farinetti, patron of Eataly, and Davide Rampello, artistic director of Padiglione Zero at Expo 2015. The meeting was coordinated by Clément Vachon, Communication Director of Acqua Panna-S.Pellegrino, the brand that wanted this meeting. Curiosity, simplicity and the desire to always keep an eye on what’s happening around you are the cardinal points, according to Gualtiero Marchesi. And not only in the kitchen: “Every time I have found myself in front of an artwork, I learnt something”, the Maestro said in the beginning. “Only if we understand raw materials we can respect them and create something simple”. Massimo Bottura underlined that valorising what makes Italy unique – including food – is essential if we want people abroad to discover our country: “In order to be understood and known, Italy needs to take back its strong points and what makes it special. We need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and start to react”, concluded the chef before letting Davide Oldani speak.
