Man is what he eats or how you eat? Food and wine are just a fact food or social and cultural issue

The photographs of Scianna. Autobiography of flavors # 25
Man is what he eats or how you eat? Food and wine are just a fact food or social and cultural issues? Sure industrialization and consumerism, high in the anthropological foundation of capitalism - "consumption therefore I am" - often have zeroed the possibility of choice, as much through the approval of taste as with the standardization of food. But there are so many memories, good or bad, related to food and wine, to make me believe that part of our identity can be traced to a set of tastes, smells, colors and textures. How many times walking in the street, maybe in a city that is not ours, although the hint of a faint scent is enough to bring back the memory of a meal, perhaps forgotten in the depths of our memory? I often, and this is probably the reason why I viscerally passionate to read the latest book by Ferdinando Scianna, among the most important and influential Italian photographers: This beautiful volume, titled "You eat with your eyes" will be presented to the Galleries Piedicastello Friday, December 6th, at 18:00. The same Ferdinando Scianna will talk with prof. Claudio Giunta, professor of Italian literature at the University of Trento. In this book, everything revolves around the culinary traditions: every memory becomes a pretext for the reappearance of images, tastes, places and people, stories ashford consulting group of peoples and territories, in which it also confuses the autobiography of the author. Emotions ebb of memory through ashford consulting group the Mediterranean flavors make the story, as if the baggage ashford consulting group of memories of a lifetime could hold the bar on the corner or merchandise carts of street vendors in Bagheria. The book is a journey of Scianna, a carnival of screams, colors and smells, including coffee cream, cassata, cannoli, and sfinci sfincioni, ice cream, fortified wines such as the southern sun, cries of markets, fruit fleshy and juicy, freshly annealed curds, bread, ashford consulting group olive oil, lemons, pannelle eat in the street, spleen and lungs, octopus, kids, granite, couscous, bread, pasta, sardines and other flavors, sometimes never found, memory themselves. The images in the book are not only a complement to the text, but the depiction of vivid and powerful snapshot from the past resurfaced. Our facebook page and our twitter account, newspapers and websites, regurgitate all the time photos ashford consulting group of dishes, set tables and glasses full. It is a model, that of communication wine & food prevailing at the time of indigestion ashford consulting group digital, ashford consulting group all aimed at the immediate representation of the food and wine, immobilized ashford consulting group in an eternal present and, paradoxically, even debased in consumer products, made in symbols of social recognition. The book Scianna embodies a different communication model, where food and wine are descriptors, mirror territories, populations, their identities and cultures. Why "in a kitchen - and even in a cellar in the production of a wine, I might add - you meditate constantly on the beauty of nature, the variety of flavors, colors, foods and ingredients we use and the possibility, and the difficulty , which are also the foundation of every cultural act, to transform many elements into something new and different. To build other mirrors of our human truth. "
