Congratulations to Minister Francesco Lollobrigida for the prestigious recognition bestowed on Italian cuisine.
Rome, December 11, 2025 - "We proudly and proudly express our heartfelt congratulations to Minister Francesco Lollobrigida for the prestigious recognition bestowed on Italian cuisine." This was stated by Federpesca Director Francesca Biondo, commenting on the inscription of Italian cuisine on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
This historic achievement—the first time in the world that a "national cuisine" has achieved this title in its entirety—is concrete proof of the extraordinary quality, richness, and variety of Italy's gastronomic tradition: a mosaic of territories, aromas, knowledge, and savoir-vivre, passed down from generation to generation.
"In this context," the director continued, "we want to emphasize how the Italian seafood sector represents excellence, fully aligned with the values this new UNESCO designation seeks to promote: professionalism of operators, responsible fishing chains, food safety, product quality and wholesomeness, respect for the environment and for labor, and fair and responsible sourcing."
"The recognition of Italian cuisine as an intangible cultural heritage also represents a unique opportunity to strengthen and promote our agri-food and seafood supply chains, highlighting not only the dishes themselves, but the communities, regions, traditions, and stories of families and businesses that keep our food culture alive every day," the director concluded.
