MADE IN ITALY

FOOD IS AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER

“Some events showcase products. SIMPOSIO brings an entire country to life.”

SIMPOSIO connects Italian excellence, territories, food & wine tourism development, creating meaningful experiences, connections and new opportunities through one dedicated platform.

Every product tells the story of a place: behind every bottle of wine or olive oil, piece of cheese, loaf of bread, or traditional recipe, are the people, landscapes, cultures, traditions, and communities that bring it to life.

SIMPOSIO builds on this heritage, transforming it into experiences, legends, connections and opportunities.

Lui è Official Ambassador

Giuseppe Calabrese

Giuseppe Calabrese, per tutti Peppone, è oste, cavaliere all’Ordine del Merito della Repubblica, ambasciatore della Dieta Mediterranea e della cucina italiana nel mondo. Volto di Rai1 è alla guida di Linea Verde e Camper Osteria Italia.

Profondamente legato alla sua Potenza, con Potentialmente Onlus trasforma l’amore per la propria terra in progetti di solidarietà e impatto sociale. È inoltre docente di antropologia del cibo presso le accademie In Cibum e Intrecci , dove promuove tra i giovani il valore dei produttori locali, la sostenibilità e il rispetto dell’economia del territorio.

“Quando viaggiamo per mangiare e bere qualcosa di buono, quando parliamo di turismo enogastronomico, in realtà stiamo andando a conoscere delle persone. Perché dietro ogni prodotto ci sono mani, storie, famiglie e comunità che hanno scelto di restare, di voler bene al proprio territorio e che si impegnano ogni giorno per tenerlo vivo.”
