Nominated by the Italian government as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in March 2023, UNESCO gave the first approval to Italian cuisine on 10th November 2025 , based on the technical evaluation of the dossier. The nomination was promoted by the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty Francesco Lollobrigida and the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano. It highlights the cultural dimension of Italian cooking and its strong identity value.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cItalian cooking seems in many ways to be defined in negative terms, by what it is not: it is not monolithic, not uniform, not regulated, not built around codified rules but on principles of freedom, inclusion and sharing of diversity. Precisely for this reason, Italian cuisine is everyone’s heritage\u201d.<\/p>\n
