Farewell to Anna Dente, the ambassador of Roman cuisine to the world – Italian Cuisine

Cook-farmer-butcher, or hostess or simply Sora Anna. With Anna Dente, who left us on the same day as Maradona, all the ancient wisdom of hands that have cooked thousands of carbonare, amatriciane, fettuccine alla Nonno Emilio, the real workhorse of the Osteria di San Cesario. And again tripe, pajata and the whole repertoire halfway between delicacies and poor recipes of Roman cuisine. Anna Dente was the undisputed heir of Sora Lella: televised like Aldo Fabrizi's sister (alongside Clerici at the Prova del Cuoco), with the same temperament as a woman of other times, a similar repertoire of recipes taken from the Lazio-Roman tradition, the same adversity to the so-called "micragnose portions".

On the site of the Osteria di San Cesario she presented herself as follows: "My name is Anna Dente and I was born on 25 December 1943 in the rural village of San Cesareo, in the province of Rome. The Americans were bombing the area south of the capital to prepare for the allied landing of Anzio and Nettuno, which is why my birth was officially registered on January 2, 1944 ”. Maybe she was born during the war, maybe she grew up in the countryside and it was formed between the family butchery-norcineria and the restaurant of Aunt Ada Dente, but for Anna Dente there was no need to get up from the table if you were not satisfied.

With his family opened Osteria di San Cesario in San Cesareo in 1995 with the intention of preserving the gastronomic tradition of the area and until recently she was in the kitchen. Then a bad illness drove her away from her kingdom, only a few days ago a moving post by her son Emilio celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Osteria, which opened on November 17, 1995, a Friday, in spite of all superstitions. "My mother, with a heap of flour and a little water, conquered the world. A farmer and butcher from a small town 29 kilometers south-east of Rome, relaunched Roman-Lazio cuisine and became ambassador of Roman cuisine in the world".

Who was Philippe Daverio

He moved to Italy and he studied at Bocconi of Milan, but without graduating. He often said: "I'm not a doctor because I didn't graduate, I was enrolled at Bocconi in 1968-1969, in those years people went to university to study and not to graduate". Instead, in Milan he opened his first gallery (which soon became one of the most important in the city), and found himself a publisher and popularizer of art.

Councilor for Culture, Leisure, Education and International Relations of the Municipality of Milan from 1993 to 1997, he oversaw the reconstruction of the Contemporary Art Pavilion, which had been destroyed by a bomb in 1993. But the great public got to know him thanks to television, starting from 1999, when he started working as a broadcast correspondent Art on Raitre. The following year he led Art.tù (of which he was also the author), and from 2002 to 2012 Passepartout, a successful art and culture program that brought art to the homes of Italians. Increasingly known as a television personality, in recent years he has often participated in Strip the news, on Canale5.

In politics collaborated with Vittorio Sgarbi, mayor of the Municipality of Salemi, in various cultural and artistic initiatives and was a candidate in the province of Milan in 2009 in the list of Filippo Penati. According to him, who had an idea of politics as a noble service to the community, "left and right no longer make sense".

Daverio was also a university professor: he taught History of Art at the IULM in Milan, History of Design at the Polytechnic of Milan and Industrial Design at the University of Palermo. He wrote many popular books, including The good way, Art on the table, The game of painting. And the last, in 2019, My Europe in small steps, for Rizzoli.
