Identità Golose 2010

Massimo Bottura is speaking in a conference, at his side Paolo Marchi

Identità Golose is the first Italian convention about high level cuisine: an event that brings together some of the most renowned chefs and food producers of Italy and beyond. It was invented by the food journalist Paolo Marchi in 2004 and this is year was the sixth edition, a London edition has also been started in 2009.

I attended the convention this Monday and I fought with myself between the interest in the conferences, in one spoke one of the greatest chefs of all times: Alain Ducasse, and the temptation to taste again and again all the marvelous food products that were on display, like the ones presented in the stand of Emilia-Romagna, the Italian region where I was born.

But being mainly a photographer, even if a food lover one, after listening to the new trends of Haute Cuisine and eating a slice of Culatello, I used my camera to take some portraits of some of the culinary protagonists attending the convention.
