Mauro Uliassi meets Giovanni Gaggia: A book bridging art and cuisine

The volume 'Mauro Uliassi meets Giovanni Gaggia', published by Maretti Editore in 2021, presents a dialogue between chef Mauro Uliassi and artist Giovanni Gaggia. Curated by Maria Paola Poponi, the book is part of the 'Arte e cucina' series launched in 2011. Rather than a conventional cookbook or aesthetic juxtaposition of dishes and artworks, it narrates the shared territorial roots and creative methods of the two protagonists. Massimiliano Tonelli, author of the preface, emphasizes the cultural dimension and commitment to local businesses (Uliassi) and horizontal art practices (Gaggia). Critical texts by Marcella Russo and Antonio Paolini highlight the concepts of 'nourishment' and 'method' as central to their philosophies. The book includes 224 pages, bilingual Italian/English text, and cover photography by Lido Vannucchi. It retails for €40.00 and is available through Maretti Editore.
