Festa Artusiana
“The hypocritical world doesn't want to give importance to eating, but there are no people who doesn’t set the table to celebrate eating as best as possible” Pellegrino Artusi
The Festa Artusiana is a nine-day event held every year, in which the town of Forlimpopoli welcomes tourists from all over the world to celebrate both Italian home cookery, and what is beautiful and delicious on the national gastronomic scene. Each year, on the recommendation of Casa Artusi’s Scientific Committee, Forlimpopoli awards both the Artusi Prize to someone who has stood out within the culture of food, and the honorary Marietta Prize dedicated to home cookery.
The City of Forlimpopoli, in honor of Pellegrino Artusi, gives a prize every year to a person who, regardless of merit, has distinguished himself for the original contribution given to the reflection on the relationship between man and food.
