Do you remember when the smell of Sunday began on Saturday evening?
In this first episode of our new series, we embark on a journey through Southern Italy, a true “school of sun and patience”. We explore 25 iconic dishes that have made history—recipes born from the necessity of feeding many with very little, transformed into masterpieces by sheer ingenuity and heart.
From the “architecture of love” found in a Neapolitan Parmigiana to the “romance of bittersweet flavors” in Sicilian Caponata, we’ll discover why these dishes are more than just food: they are edible memory.
In this video, you will discover:
• The secrets of the Campanian theater, from Fried Pizza to the slow-bubbling Ragù.
• The “discipline of the essential” in Puglia, featuring Focaccia Barese and Tiella.
• The bold, red strength of Calabria’s ’Nduja and the communal spirit of Basilicata’s Crapiata.
• The ancient traditions of Sardinia, from Pane Carasau to the hand-closed Culurgiones.
