Simposio The Umbria Issue: Italian recipes, travel, and culture
Ciao,
benvenuti in Umbria, welcome to Umbria. The central region of Italy, the land of fairytales, religious fervor, and nourishing food. A land to live slowly, letting nature, flavors, legends, ancient celebrations, and wine inebriate you.
This Simposio will guide you through some - slow traveling means having to choose, but a second issue will come - of Umbria's towns. You will explore Perugia, Gubbio, Orvieto, Spoleto, Montefalco, Norcia, and Scheggino. Of each, you will take home a story, a personage, a sentiment, or an experience. Of all, you will discover the flavors of their traditional, regional cuisine and the beauty of their alleys.
Set your mind to the fairytale mood. As always, we will cross the line of reality. We will enjoy the foggy dimension of maybe and the fun state of why not. Italy's heritage is made of this: ancient beliefs, uncertain origins, the merging of cultures, and breathtaking results.
Get ready to feast over chestnuts and beans, chicken and duck, peasant's cuisine and truffles, sausages, and seasonal vegetables.
Get ready to sip wine wrapped in a mantel, facing a bonfire, waiting to see angels pass, or witches, or griffons.
Get ready to witness Etruria merging into Middle Ages, the sixties avant-garde into modern jazz, and religious fever into everyday life.
Get ready for Umbria!
