In
the name of Pellegrino Artusi
the historical centre of Forlimpopoli is going to look more and more like
a late XII – early VIII century town, characters which it already keeps.
It is not a fantasy operation of
course, and not even an impossible come back to the past, but the recovery
of values that do not have to be lost, the discovery of
present fecund roots: well living together in a man size town.
The buildings, the squares and the streets will get this historical aspect
along the time, the private citizens themselves, in
their renovations, following the approved town plannintg
rules will give their contribution to the realization of a global
harmonic effect.
Artusi’s town will be welcoming and based on conviviality.
The hub of Artusi’s town will be Artusi’s
House whose works of
realization are being executed.
It will be the Living House of the Italian Gastronomy; through the
renovation and the new qualification of the Servants’ Convent (1300) and
of the annex Church
containing precious art works, it was planned not only as the place where
to keep Artusi’s memories but first of all as the chief area where
chefs can organise their
stages, schools can present their courses and small or large firms,
including the niche ones, can make
their products known.
There will also be, as in any respectful house, a large Artusi’s House
Gastronomic Library, as
The Itailan gastronomy is the most widespread one, and this huge wealth is
kept inside the families, rather than in the restoration, be it more or
less of high level, and also and most of all because in Artusi’s town
any citizen of the world will have to feel himself as at home.
