Pasta e Cultura

Bologna, a city of art where painters, composers, artists, and filmmakers intersect, fascinates with its relationship to food and the continual interweaving of art and cuisine.

Through the testimonies of theater and film artists, as well as a food historian, this documentary offers answers to questions about the representation of food in painting and theater over the centuries.

The dramaturgical analysis of a play takes on a new dimension through the lens of food elements. Through their depiction, the painter captures a moment, an era, and conveys a religious or political message, displays abundance, or expresses symbolism.

This exploration touches on philosophical, sociological, and aesthetic notions.
