But to complete the range of limited edition labels, also the three designed by children through participation in the competition launched in September “Let's draw an impact world-1” which invited the little ones to represent a sustainable world through a drawing.

An “impact world – 1 is a world where we all strive to remove more plastic than we use through proper recycling and we convince others to do the same.

To reach the dreamed level of sustainability, Ferrarelle has created the Presenzano plant which is entirely dedicated to recycling where it takes care of 20,000 tons of plastic every year, more than it uses to produce bottles with recycled plastic.

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

Farewell to Anna Dente, the ambassador of Roman cuisine to the world


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".

World diabetes day: how to prevent and treat it at the table
