Food can be art - Impressions from the 4th Italy Day
This time, the Network Italy at the University of Kassel illuminated the significance of food in Italy - from a cultural, historical, political, and art historical perspective. Nicola Perullo, professor at the Università di Sciencze Gatronomiche di Pollenzo, spoke on the question of whether food can be art (yes, under certain circumstances), and the former "Feinschmecker" author Sabine Knappe spoke on the Italianization of taste.
Other lectures dealt with literary and cinematic meals (Christine Ott) and the representation of food in early Renaissance Italian painting (Prof. Dr. Martina Sitt).
The "Italy Network" - "rete italiana" - is an initiative of scholars at the University of Kassel. Its goal is to bundle and strengthen the existing contacts to Italy at the University of Kassel.
