The exhibition Italiani a Tavola 1860 – 1960. Storia fotografica dell'alimentazione, della cucina e della tavola in Italia shows off a series of original and timeless photos telling us more about the Italian gastronomic habits during the years from 1860 to 1960, a century that saw the birth of modern Italy, a dictatorship and two World Wars.
