Gastronomy. travel.
CULTURE.

These are the aspects that the Food Around project, born from the exchange of ideas between Paolo Vizzari and Mattia Alberani, proposes to explore.

An extraordinary journey, where gastronomy becomes the bridge that connects hearts and cultures.

Paolo's attentive and curious eye, combined with his extraordinary palate and captivating narration, will be the "red thread" guiding the audience through the discovery of unusual territories and flavors. Alongside him, a local chef or producer and an Italian chef will contribute to creating a unique synergy. A culinary collaboration that will not only delight the senses but also transport the audience on a multisensory adventure, revealing deep connections between food, places and cultural traditions.

Each stage of this journey is captured by the Cinefood team's cameras, transforming the entire experience into an engaging documentary, enhanced by accurate photo reportage. In this unique combination of experiences, the Food Around project invites the audience to immerse themselves in an extraordinary journey, where gastronomy becomes the bridge that connects hearts and cultures in an unforgettable adventure.

The heart of the Food Around project is to capture and communicate the richness of each land explored, making tangible the magic of local gastronomy through dynamic, fun, creativity-soaked communication materials.

The history of Casamance

Our latest project, carried out in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Dakar, explored the region of Casamance, Senegal.

Together with Senegalese Chef Raoul Coly and Italobrazilian Chef Mauricio Zillo, we led viewers to discover the diversity of local products, exploring the variety of ingredients that characterize the region. Chef Zillo's fusion of Senegalese and Italian-Brazilian traditions led to the creation of united dishes, thanks to the combination of the two chefs' culinary experience and creativity.

By embracing Food Around projects, we go beyond simply discovering new territories, transforming every taste and every encounter into a moment of sharing, mutual enrichment and cross-cultural understanding. Food Around thus becomes a bridge between worlds, where taste becomes a universal language to explore, understand and celebrate the diversity of our planet.

Cooking as a
universal language

Cooking manifests itself as a universal language that can overcome language and cultural barriers. A shared meal becomes a powerful means of creating meaningful connections, promoting open-mindedness, sharing and celebrating human diversity through taste and conviviality.

Telling
traditions

The kitchen is an authentic custodian of a country's traditions. Joining Food Around means stepping completely into the history of a culture through its ingredients, its dishes and the people who prepare them. Participating in one of these projects becomes a valuable means of preserving and sharing a community's rich culinary heritage.

Promote
cultural exchange

Food Around promotes an authentic cultural exchange between Italian chefs and local producers, creating a synergy that goes far beyond the culinary sphere. This interaction fosters a deeper understanding of the cultures involved, paving the way for fruitful and lasting collaborations.

Explore the
beauty of the different

Food Around is an invitation to discover and appreciate the diversity of flavors, aromas and culinary techniques that characterize the traditions of each place, thus enriching one's gastronomic perspective. Through this experience, a world of sensory and cultural knowledge opens up, in which the table becomes a bridge to mutual understanding.
