The Embassy of Italy in Nicosia invites you to enjoy the \u2018Extraordinary Italian Taste<\/strong>\u2019 as part of the celebrations for the 5th edition of the Week of the Italian Cuisine in the World<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Week of the Italian Cuisine in the World is a yearly initiative promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and celebrated by the Italian diplomatic and cultural network around the globe exploring the popularity of quality Italian cuisine abroad, as evidence of the international success of the \u201cMade in Italy\u201d brand. The initiative is led by \u201cThe Extraordinary Italian Taste\u201d project, which aims to highlight Italian quality by educating food lovers on how to identify and appreciate authentic Italian products.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s central theme is \u201cKnowledge and Flavours of Italian Regions, 200 after Pellegrino Artusi\u2019s Birth<\/strong>\u201d, marking the opportunity to continue celebrating Pellegrino Artusi, considered the father of Italian gastronomic culture for having gathered together dishes from different Italian regions and published them in his book \u2018Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well\u2019.<\/p>\n The Week of the Italian Cuisine represents also an important occasion to highlight the Mediterranean diet, of which this year we celebrate the 10th anniversary of its inscription on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Moreover, both Italy and Cyprus are active partners in the \u201cGroup of Friends of the Healthy and Sustainable Diets\u201d they have founded at the United Nations.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s celebrations will officially start worldwide today, 23rd of November, and will last for the whole week. During this week, thematic videos and webinars will be available on the Embassy\u2019s social media as part of a global communication campaign coordinated by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Additional initiatives will also be promoted by the Dante Alighieri Society Cyprus<\/a>\u00a0and the Italian-Cypriot Chamber of Commerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, due to the local measures in place to prevent the spread of Covid-19, the initiatives in Cyprus have been postponed<\/strong> to allow more partners to participate and more people to attend the events, while creating a safer environment for everybody.Therefore, in collaboration with a number of local partners, the rich regional variety of the Italian cuisine will be highlighted in Cyprus through a programme of initiatives<\/strong> (soon available on our online channels) offered to the public from the 14th to the 20th of December<\/strong>. Nevertheless, we invite you to regularly visit our social media for updates<\/span> on the feasibility of the programme in line with the health and safety measures announced by the Cypriot government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Embassy of Italy in Nicosia invites you to enjoy the \u2018Extraordinary Italian Taste\u2019 as part of the celebrations for the 5th edition of the Week of the Italian Cuisine in the World.
