The sixth annual Week of Italian Cuisine in the World begins Monday, November 15^th through Saturday November 21^st. The weeklong celebration promoting Italian cuisine is an initiative promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs along with other agencies such as the Italian Trade Agency (as well as Italian Cultural Institutes). The Italian Embassy to the United States announced the complete program of events in a press release.

The focus for this year’s events is on Italian cuisine between tradition, innovation, and sustainability. As the transatlantic travel reopens and a resurgence of trade between Italy and the United States, it’s an important time to promote Italian cuisine. In 2021 trade between the two countries surpassed the record levels of 2019, with a nearly 30% growth of Italian exports to the US of beverages and agro-food products.
