Coming after the Venice Film Festival and just before the Rome Cinema Festival, Piatto d’Autore provides a mouthwatering interlude that combines movies and food.
Bormioli Rocco is one of the sponsors of the event, held in the Italian capital on the 1st and 7th of October, which sees Italian journalists don their aprons and vie for culinary greatness. During an entertaining live cooking competition, the “chefs” will do battle for the I National Journalistic Gastronomic Award.
The theme of the 2008 edition is the link between films shot in the Lazio region by great directors and typical gastronomic products of that area. Each contestant will prepare a dish inspired by films of the calibre of “Bread, love and dreams”, “Bellissima”, “Mister Max” and serve it with a local wine.
The event, which celebrates the seventh art and exquisite local gastronomic produce, would not be complete without Bormioli Rocco “masterpieces”. Leader of Italian tableware style, the group is providing the glassware and wine glasses, confirming once again its commitment to promoting Italy's rich food and wine heritage.
A gala evening is planned for the "Piatto d’Autore" gran finale. On 7th October, a prestigious Rome venue will bring together food and wine critics, opinion leaders, representatives of the press and the world of entertainment to pay tribute to Italian cinema and cuisine. The simple, refined design of Bormioli Rocco’s wine tasting glasses will add an unmistakable touch of elegance to the table setting and the dinner.
