The Gypsy table
Food feeds group identity. On Sunday June 7 at 15.00, the Slow Food Pavilion will host an analysis of eating habits in the Roma and Sinti communities in Italy, where the table is a place of bonding, teaching and learning. Francesca Grazioli - Economy and Social Sciences graduate and Master in Human Ecology and Sustainability from the University of Gastronomic Sciences at Pollenzo - will present the results of the research project on which her degree thesis was based.
The Slow Food Pavilion
Built entirely in wood, with its recognizable red snail logo visible on the outside, the Slow Food Pavilion greets visitors to the Expo site near the East - Roserio Entrance, and at the far end of the Decumano from the rail and metro station Rho Fiera Milano Expo. The space is made up of three welcoming rectangular buildings forming a triangle, one containing a theater for encounters, talks and cultural events, one an exhibition area focused on Biodiversity issues and one a zone devoted to tasting events, particularly those concerning agricultural products and dishes protected by Slow Food Presidia. The open air space at the center of the triangle is Piazza Biodiversity, an oasis of peace where visitors can pause and rest among the perfumes of the many rare vegetable and herbal varieties growing there.
