Italian Cuisine could soon receive UNESCO World Heritage Recognition #italy #italianfood #unesco #worldheritage #italiancuisine #italian #shorts
Italian cuisine holds a special place in the hearts of many, making it a beloved choice for food enthusiasts. With its rich history of family recipes, homemade pasta, and traditional wood-fired pizza served in age-old restaurants, Italy’s culinary scene surpasses expectations.
In recent news, there are indications that Italian food and its cultural heritage may receive official recognition from UNESCO. The Italian Government declared its official nomination of the nation’s cuisine as an Intangible Cultural Heritage element in late March 2023. The nomination dossier emphasizes the profound influence Italian cuisine has had on shaping the country’s bio-cultural diversity. The dossier defines Italian cuisine as a collection of social practices, rituals, and gestures derived from various local knowledge, which collectively define and characterize it. These remarks were made by the European Food Agency.
Italian cuisine has caught UNESCO’s attention before. In 2017, the art of Neapolitan Pizzaiolo, specifically the technique of making Neapolitan-style pizza, was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list. This annual designation safeguards cultural practices and expressions of intangible heritage, as outlined on the UNESCO website.
While the final decision won’t be made until December 2025, reports indicate that discussions and plans to ensure the continuous celebration of Italy and its food will be forthcoming. The possibility of Italian cuisine being recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO further highlights its significance and influence on global gastronomy.
