The Ministry of Foreign Affairs collaborated with ALMA (International School of Italian Cuisine) and the University of Parma to create a web series on Italian cuisine, as well as with Italy’s most popular food blog, Giallozafferano, for a series of 10 English-subtitled videos promoting the Week of Italian Cuisine, featuring the publication of 3 typically Italian menus.
