Many traditional Italian ingredients can be tracked back to prehistoric times, since the first domesticated plants were cultivated during the Neolithic period. Professor Laura Motta will provide us with an historical overview, based on recent archaeological and ethnohistorical research, exploring the past lives of Italian traditional food from Romans' cookbooks to Medieval monasteries and Fascist propaganda. At the conclusion of the event, guests will have the opportunity to taste a selection of food prepared by a chef of Eataly from ancient recipes, as well as learn how to cook them.
