Italian Film Festival: Mangiamo Insieme & Shores of Light

Uncategorized Download To My Calendar
Join the San Diego Italian Film Festival to celebrate the sharing of the two cultures featured in the documentary film, ?Shores of Light?.

A team of fabulous Italian chefs will be recreating the spirit of rebirth for two war-devastated communities: Jewish Holocaust survivors and Pugliese villagers. Between 1945 and 1947 survivors streamed into Puglia to await blockade-running ships to Palestine. They found a welcome typical of Italian hospitality. Sharing garden produce, fishermen?s catches, field foraging, and relief packages, the two peoples came together at table.

The Chefs:
Accursio Lota ? Solare
Francesca Penoncelli ? Bice
Matteo Cattaneo ? Buona Forchetta
Palma Belinghieri ? Private Chef & Culinary Educator

Also featuring: Sweetaly Dolceria, Gaia Gelato, Arcidiacano Coffee and Wine by Cantina Della Volta & Fattoria Zerbina.

Menu does not include shellfish or meat

It will be a night of memory, celebration, and delicious food ? Cucina Pugliese and Cucina Erbaica ? followed by the singular documentary ?The Shores of Light? (2015, 56 minutes) at 7:30 PM.
