If food is the most universally human language, every cuisine is a mirror of a society.
If food is the most universally human language, then every dish tells a story: of peoples, of migrations, of lands and traditions. Cuisine is not just nourishment, but collective memory and cultural identity. Every recipe passed down is an act of love, every flavor a reflection of the soul of a society. In a changing world, food remains a bridge between generations, a code that unites us beyond words.

Publications
In this space, you can find the publications I've participated in and actively contributed to. A collection of works, projects, and research that illustrate my career path and my professional commitment.
2023. Sibilla Berni Canani, Laura Gennaro, Fabrizia Maccati, Andrés Peñalosa Barbero.
The teaching manual—developed by the CREA Food and Nutrition Research Center and produced thanks to the collaboration with the MET Biodistrict (of Maremma Etrusca and Monti della Tolfa) and the support of the Lazio Region—is intended to be a guide and a source of inspiration for primary school teachers who wish to begin (or continue) a cross-curricular food education program with their classes. Using local products, the different food groups are explored, with fun and educational worksheets to introduce children to a series of concepts regarding healthy and sustainable diets.
2024. Emanuele Falcinelli.
An interactive pocket manual (which can be broken down) designed to provide everyone with practical and engaging access to nutrition education. In these pages, we will explore the foundations of healthy eating, offering clear and useful information to help everyone make informed decisions about their nutritional well-being. This manual is designed as an accessible guide, a valuable companion for anyone who wishes to learn and apply the fundamental knowledge for a healthy and balanced life. An engaging journey awaits every reader, as we delve into the universe of nutrition, transcending the simple concept of food and opening the doors to a new awareness that will make our relationship with food richer and more meaningful.
2025. Acli di Roma
The Art of Saving Food is the heart of an awareness campaign promoted by ACLI Rome together with DDB Group Italy, developed from the solidarity project "Il Cibo che Serve," which has been active for years in the recovery and redistribution of surplus food in the metropolitan area of Rome. The book aims to be a tool for reflection and education, combining the evocative power of art with the concreteness of social action. Paintings from the past—often rich in symbolism related to food, the table, and sharing—are reinterpreted in light of today's challenges: food waste, growing poverty, unsustainable consumption, and new forms of loneliness. Using accessible yet profound language, the images interact with texts, data, testimonies, and authoritative contributions, offering the reader a rich and engaging experience. A story that goes beyond denunciation and seeks to point the way forward: that of food that is not wasted, but saved and shared.
