Like every year since 1997 in this period Mantua hosts the Literature Festival, a five-day event made up of meetings with authors, readings, guided tours, shows and concerts with artists from all over the world.
Many appointments are free and free, but this year, for organizational reasons due to the need for social distancing, it is necessary signing in on the site.
So from 9 to 13 September the whole city is involved in this cultural event. The words of food is the special section dedicated to gastronomic literature, an increasingly nourished and exciting genre.
Writers, producers and experts participate in Le parole del Cibo, as well as a column on the web radio. Partner of the initiative is Levoni, historic cured meats company.
In the cycle of gastro literary appointments they are involved Tommaso Melilli, the chef author of I conti con l'oste, Salvatore Ceccarelli, geneticist author of the book Producing your own seeds, Sowing the future, e Lorenzo Mori, creator together with Sineglossa of the NONTURISMO series for a new idea of conscious tourism.
“This journey through food tells personal stories and professional visions from which to be inspired. It is an exhibition that involves three experiences of authentic food and wine culture in which the theme of the territory and the active safeguarding of its traditions are central, as well as for our company "he explains. Marella Levoni.
Those who want to follow the meetings from home can do so thanks to web radio: The words of food has a daily column edited by the same authors who are protagonists of the food review.
In addition to live events within the city and on the web radio, Levoni is present at the Festivaletteratura with the traditional gazebo set up in Piazza Sordello where this year, in addition to the festival audience, writers, volunteers and guests of the event will be able to refresh themselves with the classic Mantuan snack based on sandwiches and cold cuts.
