On the occasion of the Week of the Italian Cuisine in the World, the Embassy of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute of Washington present the exhibition FOOD HEROES. The photographic display is dedicated to some regional emblematic and successful stories of virtuous personalities of the Italian food and wine scene.

From beekeepers in Friuli-Venezia Giulia to mussels farmers in Puglia, exploring the work of shepherds in Marche, winemaking in Liguria and Slow Food cuisine of Sicily, the images represent the Italian effort in food sustainability, craftsmanship and quality within their respective territories of origin.
