RIGENERARE IL RACCONTO DEI TERRITORI DEL CIBO CON UN FILO LEGGERO. IL CASO DEL PROGETTO VENTO

There are places increasingly famous and places that are increasingly forgotten, depopulated, aged. It is a silent fragility that describes a physical and moral phe- nomenon. They are places that are lost because their narration is confused. They needs a line that reorders, narrates and reconstructs a possible story. The food of these places represents an intangible heritage at risk, with an unexplored economic potential and strictly de- pendent on the narrative dimension of the territory in which they were born and evolved. A territory project tells about food and beauty of these places with a single line. VENTO is a project that, through a 680 km cycle path that joins Venice to Turin, crosses areas rich in food heritage: 10,000 farms, landscapes, artifacts, products, recipes, flavors, traditions and memories. The paper presents some critical reflections born with VENTO on the relationship between territories, food and identity.
