The history of rice and corn with Philippe Daverio


Has corn arrived in Italy before or after the discovery of America? How was polenta born? And the Milanese risotto?

Philippe Daverio tells the story of the corn he was born in rice, showing us how Italy is a country rich in contamination and intersections with other cultures.
Starting from the panicles depicted in works of the 9th century up to the first traces of rice in the Satires of Horace, where their beneficial properties were already exalted.

Don't miss this lesson with Professor Philippe Daverio, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of La Cucina Italiana.
