Italian cuisine is the official candidate of the Italian government for UNESCO World Heritage for 2023.
The proposal comes from the Ministers of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty Francesco Lollobrigida and Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano.
According to Lollobrigida, it is surprising that this happened only in 2023, given the wealth of Italian cuisine.
The file will be sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to UNESCO and the evaluation process will begin, which should be completed by December 2025 at the latest.
