Paolo Corvo reflects on a paradox: Italy is still widely recognised for its food culture, yet daily cooking practices have weakened over time.
The issue: social change, work patterns and consumption habits have reduced the time and centrality once reserved for cooking in everyday life.
Why it matters: when domestic food culture changes, the way gastronomy is transmitted, valued and interpreted also changes.
The tourism angle: food and wine tourism depends not only on products and restaurants, but also on living cultural practices and the narratives that keep them meaningful.
