Molise cuisine showcased: show cooking with Max Mariola

Association E.A.T. (Enogastronomy–Art–Tourism) presented a show cooking event in Campobasso featuring chef Max Mariola, part of the city's patronal celebrations. The initiative aims to highlight Molise cuisine as an authentic expression of Italian culinary traditions acknowledged by UNESCO.

The programme focuses on promoting local food traditions rooted in peasant culture, seasonality and close ties to regional production—values aligned with safeguarding intangible cultural heritage.

• Goals: document traditional recipes, engage local communities and support intergenerational transmission of culinary knowledge.
• Planned activities: show cooking, educational workshops and experiential food events.
• Organisers: Association E.A.T., chaired by Laura Potito, with the contribution of local sponsors and institutional partners.

Practical information: the appointment with Max Mariola is scheduled for Thursday, 23 April 2026, from 11:00 to 18:00, in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II at the E.A.T. stand.

The initiative aims both to support recognition of Italian cuisine as intangible cultural heritage and to strengthen Molise's positioning as an authentic, sustainable tourist destination, fostering local agri-food supply chains.
