Sept. 19 – OWU HHK Department: “Chewing the Fat – An Oral History of Italian Foodways from Fascism to Dolce Vita”

This highly engaging and visually-driven presentation will focus on Karima Moyer-Nocchi’s recently published book “Chewing the Fat – An Oral History of Italian Foodways from Fascism to Dolce Vita” and will examine the sociopolitical influence that the fascist era exerted on the formation of the Italian culinary identity, and the role it played in the conceptual development of Italian cuisine as we know it today. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the translation work and a performance of selected excerpts from the book. Please join us!
