Initiatives related to continue “Week of Italian Cuisine in the World” (SCIM) which this year is taking place from November 13th to 19th.
The “Week of Italian Cuisine in the World”
It is a week in which, in embassies, consulates, Italian cultural institutes and in the offices of the Foreign Trade Institute throughout the world, our cuisine and the products of our territory are celebrated. There will be many events this year; over a thousand initiatives including in-depth seminars, meetings with chefs, training and demonstration classes with sector operators.
This is one way to spread Italian cuisine around the world. Among other things, there are more than 7 million Italians living abroad; these numbers rise if we include those with an Italian component.
