Great success at Terra Madre Salone del Gusto in Turin

Terra Madre Salone del Gusto has just concluded with great success in Turin. The event which took place from September 22nd to 26th is the most important international event dedicated to food and gastronomy: hosting exhibitors from five continents, including the Slow Food Presidia, numerous events dedicated to the wealth and diversity of global cuisine, food trucks, street food, artisanal beer, cinema screenings, the prestigious Enoteca, conferences, the Forums of Terra Madre’s food communities and much more.

The theme of this year's edition was LOVING THE EARTH. Loving the earth in three main ways, by being a farmer, a co-producer and by making a vegetable garden. For the first time in history, the heart of the city became an enormous field of discovery, ready to welcome the extraordinary wealth of the Terra Madre network, and everyone wanted to experience it.

7000 delegates from 55 countries were in Turin, spread across the most beautiful and symbolic locations in the city: the great Market in Valentino Park, along the banks of the river Po, Piazza San Carlo, Via Roma, Piazzale Valdo Fusi and many more. The city turned into a gigantic kitchen, where visitors learned to appreciate all the world’s flavors, and the people behind them, from field to fork.

The Ligurian pavilion presented the excellence of its products with tastings and presentations of wine, fish, extra virgin olive oil PDO Riviera Ligure, Genovese PDO basil and the floral and aromatic plants productions.
