The International Day of Italian Cuisines of 17th January 2010 will be launched with a world premiere on 14th January to be held at the Italian Culinary Academy (ICA) in New York City. “Due to its history, NYC is the ideal capital of worldwide Italian cuisine,” says Cesare Casella, executive chef of Salumeria Rosi in the Big Apple, leader of the GVCI in USA and more than anything else director of the Italian Culinary Studies of New York International Culinary Institute. Participating in a symbolic collective cooking of tagliatelle in the New York City premiere, will also be Mario Batali, the American chef who, maybe more than any other, has contributed to acquainting the USA with modern oenogastronomic Italy. Batali is a scholar of ragù alla bolognese, having taken his first steps as chef in the city of Bologna and the surrounding province. The evening before, 13th January, also at the ICA of New York City, during a Gala Dinner, the list of the Italian Cuisine Worldwide Awards will be announced, to recognize especific personalities in different countries who have stand out in their dedication in making genuine Italian culinary culture known. The dinner will be prepared by Chicco and Roberto Cerea, chef patrons of Da Vittorio, Brusaporto, Province of Bergamo, recently awarded their third Michelin star, without any doubt, two of Italy’s most prominent chefs.
