SUMMARY:Salt of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:Salt Of The Earth is a talk by the Italian Academy of Cuisine\, Hong Kong Delegation in collaboration with Dante Alighieri Society\, within the 4th annual Week of Italian Cuisine in the World. \nItaly is rich in salt and places that have shaped their identity around this precious element. The Salt Road going from Piedmont to France\, the salt warehouses in Cervia and the Saline (Saltworks) in Sicily and Apulia are all landmarks of the economic importance of this ingredient. \nDuring the Roman Empire\, salt was used as a medium to pay the legionaries’ salaries (the word originates from here); the white gold played a central role in the Empire’s society and politics by literally fueling its military conquests. Moreover\, salt is at the very core of many Italian delicacies such as prosciutto\, culatello\, salame\, lardo\, Parmigiano Reggiano\, capers\, anchovies\, olives and others. \nThis evening talk\, hosted by the Italian Academy of Cuisine in collaboration with the Dante Alighieri Society\, will guide you through these legendary places\, history fragments\, ancient stories and foods. \nSpecial Canapes\, related to the use of Salt and delicius Italian wines will be offered during the event. \n\nSpeakers: \nDr. Filippo Scevola \nBorn in Turin\, Italy\, Dr Filippo Scevola graduated in Medicine and further specialized in Oncology and Gastroenterology and Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
