The Mediterranean gastronomy of our country
Every 5 years these Universal exhibitions are held in a city in the world, which back in 92, ended up in our country.
It was then the city of Seville that had the privilege of offering the world Spanish culture with its gastronomic traditions and its excellent products and preparations.
That meeting that coincided with the 5th Centenary of the discovery of America It was an excellent national showcase but a bad “business”, since the deficit generated by the difficult reuse of the space where it was held affected the national economy for five years.
The new concept to be offered in this edition of the Italian Milan is closely related to the sustainability of the planet.
“We must give priority to intangible legacies: to inspirational discoveries for the progress of humanity”
