On November 20 in Spello, at Ca’ Rapillo, the Festival della Cucina Umbra will take place, an event dedicated to regional food and wine culture. The event introduces the public to Umbria’s Gastronomic Identity Card, a project created through the collaboration of Umbriamoci APS, restaurateurs, chefs, experts, and hospitality schools to select 24 dishes representative of the region and build a shared gastronomic lexicon. The initiative is preceded on November 16 in Assisi by the competition “Il Piatto Identitario dell’Umbria – Giovani Chef Umbri”, aimed at students from local hospitality institutes. The program in Spello includes an afternoon itinerary through the village featuring history, art, and local products, followed in the evening by a convivial dinner at Ca’ Rapillo. During the dinner, students from the Hospitality Institute of Assisi will serve several dishes from the Card, including torta al testo with coratella, spelt soup, potato gnocchi with goose sauce, porchetta-style rabbit, and traditional desserts.
