From 7 April to 7 December Campania is the protagonist of a mosaic of gastronomic excellences with “Praesentia. Taste of Campania. Divina” a cycle of eight events promoted by the Campania Region through the Development and Cohesion Fund (FSC).
In iconic places, such as the Palace of Portici {Naples); the Campania Museum of Capua (Caserta); the Diocesan Museum (Salerno); the Campi Flegrei (Naples); the Palazzo Abbaziale Loreto of Montevergine in Mercogliano (Avellino); the Certosa di San Lorenzo, Padula (Salerno); the Fresco Room of the Ducal Castle of Sant’Agata de’ Goti {Benevento) and finally the city of Naples. Each event will be a unique opportunity to discover the authentic flavours of the region. The events, which include show cooking, tastings, music and stories, create a precious combination of tradition and innovation, offering a sensory experience that reveals the gastronomic richness of Campania through stories, culture and taste.
The events are free with reservation required here
All the events will begin with a guided tour of the monumental site that hosts the event, which will be followed by the story of a great expert on the food and wine history of the territory. Immediately after, two famous chefs will illustrate in the kitchen the dish chosen to represent the land in which they have their roots. Each time, the comparison will be between a starred chef and a traditional one, because every successful innovation comes from a consolidated tradition. The comparison will be made even more interesting and exciting by a nationally renowned gastronomic journalist. Learned the recipes, the public will taste the two dishes presented and the most important local typical products. First of all, extra virgin olive oil and wines from the most renowned wineries. At the end of the banquet, a small concert will offer an essay of the musical creativity of Campania, famous for its song both cultured and popular. The message that the region wants to convey is simple: in Campania, the food and wine heritage is the result of the Praesentia on the territory of women and men who, with tenacity, believed in local products and made regional cuisine an encyclopedia of conviviality, rich in recipes and knowledge, passion and feelings, life stories and masterpieces of taste. With these events, which are free and open to all, the Department of Tourism welcomes those who want to taste ‘Campania.Divina’.
