TWO OUTSTANDING UNITS OF ITALY, A TABLE AND IN CELLAR.



For some 'time to head linesman whale image: Italy is united by beauty. It is not an abstraction: the beauty is in all things which we have already spoken (language, art, culture), and many others that still have to talk.
Italy is united by the beauty and the many makers of it. The champions, in fact. Many, in every field. And today is our tribute to two characters whom few know, and few are mentioned: Pellegrino Artusi and Luigi Veronelli. For Italy, united in beauty, it is even more to the table.
Yeah, eat and drink. And do it well. Is not art, and pleasure, and will turn into joy and a necessity of life?
Thus a few years after the unification of administrative Pellegrino Artusi, Forlimpopoli of Romagna, had a brilliant intuition: clearly established the large and varied class cuisine of the newborn country (but of the millennium the nation), because it does not lead to system, this archipelago of variety and richness of food each city knows how to propose?
Thus was born "The science of cooking and the art of eating well," the real Bible of the great Italian cooking, destined to become in a few decades (reprint in print, was in the library for about a century) point reference of the culinary world, supplanting without remission - laugh who says the opposite - the much less articulate, funny and rich French cuisine.
Pellegrino Artusi's work, which deserves statues everywhere along the peninsula, had the effect of the move even more national culinary consciousness: were dozens and dozens of homemade Italian who immediately took up the invitation of genius Romagna , sending recipes, tips, variations on the theme, and contributing to building national encyclopedia of eating well we are all debtors.
With a solid culinary heritage after the war - among many other reconstructions - Another great man began an initially lonely battle to bring the drink to the level of eating, with particular attention to the latter, because - the argument was - the two things that can not be together. This man was Luigi Veronelli.
pen of the most stunning views in the last century, tongue biting and eclectic culture, the great critic Lombard coined new words and metaphors are able to enter the newspaper: it was the first to speak of "fields enoic" talking about Italy, and is he was responsible for the worldwide explosion of wine in our house, from tavern to drink d'art masterpiece.
Insisting on the quality and specificity (at a time when some sort of Socialism declined in enology claimed they came to a single "national wine, red and white stuff to spark a revolution), and had earned great merit : to "force" the growers to work well, just to start, and then to make discerning consumers, and even to mark the differences and make a color film in black and white, making everyone understand that every places of our country knows how to express character or quality, if developed properly.
Great Wines of the South are gradually joined by the great Doc North and the Centre, ancient vines were rediscovered, others reported at the top, and others - worked with a conscience - were transformed from frogs to princes. All with strong ties to the local cuisine, and after a pilgrimage to the cellar in the basement to understand, discover, comment, encourage. He must also be important legislative initiatives in the field, although not all of his insights have been incorporated. He is also responsible for the boom of enology and application with which so many followers today are dedicated to wine with passion and wealth, understood as - he said it just Veronelli - "Song of the Earth to Heaven," as well as him it must be one of the best definitions of "home" we do this in our sesquicentennial, "what you know and understand." Who speaks your language. What has your own story. Like Italian food and wine.
