Food is an essential part of people’s lives, and as such is much more than nourishment. It is also the main factor in how we view others and ourselves. Eating and cooking are part of the culture of a country, reflecting its history and beliefs.
On the occasion of the Third Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, Francesco Cito, one of Italy’s most acclaimed reporters, presents Barche, Pescatori e pesci, his new exhibition about the world of fishing in the Italian region of Puglia and its centennial traditions.
For the exhibition opening, Francesco Cito will join a conversation about the role of photography in preserving intangible heritage and traditions with Robert W. Meins, Executive Director of the Lightscape Foundation, and Renee Braden and Sara Manco, respectively Senior Director of the Library & Archives and Senior Photo Archivist at National Geographic.
A tasting of fine wine and delicacies celebrating the Italian region of Puglia will close the event thanks to the generous support of Tenth Harvest and Marra Forni.
