Alessandro Schiatti, CEO and co-founder of I Love Italian Food, explains: "In this moment of global lockdown, we have created a platform to offer restaurateurs a way to continue talking to their customers, creating a new dining experience that will allow them to gather moral and economic support. The restaurateurs will be able to share, through online masterclasses, the secrets of their dishes with customers and with all fans of Italian cuisine, collecting a contribution that each restaurateur can use to support his business or even devolve to causes dear to him ".

Agri-food, Italy's engine
According to Schiatti "Made in Italy agri-food is the enigma of Italy. One of our greatest riches.
It is the result of our many popular cultures, our geography and the many microclimates that make it up. " The mission of the association is therefore today more than ever to put the products of the Italian supply chain leaders and, together with them, the companies that invest in the territory, to overcome the challenge of Italian sounding and protect all that is 100 per 100 Italian.
