«Identità Golose allowed us to move ahead! It pulled down every frontier. Italian cuisine, without Identità, would be less interesting. You have the proof in front of you: despite the 39°C, the best chefs in the country are here: it is something very important» says Massimo Bottura, chef number 2 in the world, closing in perhaps the most effective and flattering way the event that summoned inside Sala Reale in Stazione Centrale, Milan, the best of Italian haute cuisine for the presentation of the book celebrating, together with the 100 chefs that changed Italian cuisine, also the organisation that has accompanied this growth, that is to say Identità Golose. Drawing from its archive, with over a decade of work behind, this brand signs this book titled “100 chef x 10 anni”, now available in all bookshops, offline and online.

This is what Marchi explained during his speech, after the introduction by Chiara Lorenzutti of R101 and pressed by the questions made by Paolo Colombo of La7: «I don’t like celebrations because you always need to look ahead, convinced the best is yet to come. This sort of encyclopaedia of our contemporary cuisine was created for this very reason: to present a world which has changed from January 2005 to February 2015 – that is to say in the decade between the first and the latest edition of Identità Milano. We documented the past but giving lots of space also to what can come in the future».
