When: Saturday, Feb. 18 at 10 am - Organized by Casa Belvedere – The Italian Cultural Foundation

Karima Moyer-Nocchi will give a live virtual lecture based on her book: Chewing the Fat – An Oral History of Italian Foodways from Fascism to Dolce Vita. This highly engaging and visually driven presentation will examine ways in which the politics of the Italian Fascist era (1922 to 1943) influenced the Italian culinary identity from a socio-cultural perspective, and the role it played in the conceptual development of Italian cuisine as we know it today.
