YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Italy has a very tasty reason to celebrate: Its national cuisine has become the first entire gastronomic style to be recognized by UNESCO, the UN’s cultural body — a status that should help protect it from imitators. The decision to designate Italian food as an intangible cultural heritage was confirmed on Wednesday by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ahead of an announcement expected from UNESCO. The status marks the successful end to a three-year campaign by Italy’s Agriculture Ministry to have the nation’s traditional way of growing, harvesting, preparing and serving food recognized. #CNN #News
