Many Italians find it hard to believe but in Belgium you can eat very well and without taking refuge in chocolate or mussels, which are, without counting french-fries, a national symbol. Hadn’t this been the case, on Tuesday, at Identità, we would not open the Auditorium to Flemish excellence, to the same Flanders that, together with Wallonia, compose Belgium – a nation with two regions, three if you consider the Brussels area. The result of this sum is 30 and a half million square km, 11 million inhabitants. A little more than Lombardy, but with three different languages since to Dutch and French one needs to add a touch of German. Flanders are the Northern half, with 6 million inhabitants. Wallonia is the Southern half, with three million and 300thousand inhabitants. Brussels, the belly button in the middle, has over a million people.
