Nutrition Education in Schools
This year’s Giornata della Ristorazione establishes itself as an important cultural initiative by emphasizing the deep link between education and catering. FIPE is leading an extraordinary ethical and cultural task: to bring young people closer to the awareness of the profound meaning of Italian catering. The goal of the activities organized in schools is to promote the growth of an aware generation capable of enhancing the culture of hospitality.
Chefs and entrepreneurs from the world of catering will meet with schoolchildren, including elementary and middle schools, present throughout Italy. Each personality will be the spokesperson for a special theme aimed at conveying to children the importance of the link between memory, emotions and food.

The symbolic element of 2026
Rice is a deeply meaningful food, a symbol of life, prosperity and continuity. It has accompanied human history for millennia, nourishing entire civilizations and becoming an integral part of rituals, traditions and beliefs. In the East it represents abundance and harmony, so much so that it is considered a sacred gift of the earth; in the West it is a sign of good luck and fertility, as evidenced by the gesture of throwing it to newlyweds on their wedding day.
