…E I CITTADINI CORREAN ALLA FESTA…
The OVer chamber orchestra of Verdissime.com, in a grand finale of the week dedicated to Prosciutto di Parma with pieces by Giuseppe Verdi and Gioachino Rossini.
The Parma Bistrò is part of the wider Settembre Gastronomico project and will be open from Sunday 1st September to Sunday 29 September, under the Portici del Grano, in the Piazza Garibaldi square.
A space where foodies and tourists coming to town will have the possibility of tasting products that are the symbol of made-in-Parma agrifood, in the gourmet proposals signed by Parma Quality Restaurants. Not only that: the Parma Bistrò will also be the area hosting events dedicated to promoting product culture.
Every week will have a topic. The Red Gold from Parma will open the programme, it will be followed by Prosciutto di Parma PDO (from 9 to 15 September) and anchovies, and it will end with the Parmigiano Reggiano PDO and pasta “couple”. The milk supply chain will be present throughout the period.
Also ALMA – the International School of Italian Cuisine – will be a star of the Parma Bistrò with two master classes: Thursday 5 September, dedicated to the authentic Italian ritual of the aperitif, and Thursday 19 September, dedicated to the world of tea.
The Parma Bistrò will also have a social value: for the entire duration of “Settembre Gastronomico”, this space will be indeed used to promote an awareness campaign on the topic of the dietary needs of the weakest parts of the population. The Parma Bistrò will also work as a point for collecting and donating food intended for charities active in the Parma area.
