Kitchen protagonist of one of the meetings of the programming “Incontri d’arte a Lucca”, a series of meetings and guided tours proposed by the educational section of the Cathedral Museum that invite you to know important details of the most famous monuments.

Spinning, twisting, pedaling, weaving … let’s know the ancient textile art that has made Lucca famous throughout medieval and renaissance Europe.

You can try Thursday, March 22 in the rustic weaving workshop “Maria Niemack” of the National Museum of Palazzo Mansi.

It is called “Spring from head to toe – Lucca crafts reborn” the event scheduled for March 21 at the premises of the Atelier Ricci in Via Burlamacchi No.

In 2009, we moved to Viareggio from Garfagnana, but I wanted to take care of cooking and open my own restaurant where I could offer the cuisine learned "di la dalla Apuane" and that of the sea, which I did not yet know. I had the good fortune to meet people who helped me to take this path, especially I have to thank the guys from Lampare, fishermen who use these boats from the south and "naturalized" Viareggio. They brought me many products, they taught me how to use them.

Spring, the awakening of nature. There are many seasonal products that enrich our table: fresh vegetables like salad, radishes, wild herbs, and then so much fish that populate again our shores. Oil and wine, which never fail, strawberries, flowers and baked goods, as a good focaccia bread to combine with our dishes.

The new cover of Made in Lucca is online! The table set for the autumn is full of seasonal products, because also the autumn gives us a multitude of flavors: chestnuts, chestnut flour, necci, grapes, wine, olive oil, nuts and dried fruit, pickled olives…
