There will be a re-enactment of Pope Alexandria VI Borgia's visit in 1497, and then Antonella will be discussing the style of food in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in different social classes; the cutlery on the table; etiquette in the period, and medieval recipes. The event will begin at 11 am and end around 12:30 pm with a tasting of biscuits, which will be faithfully reproduced according to the original recipe from the Italian Middle Ages. The event is free and open to everyone.
