\u201cSiamo felici – sottolinea l\u2019ideatore di Food&Book, Sergio Auricchio – che Bartolini abbia accettato di venire a Montecatini Terme. Gi\u00e0 in passato, e anche all\u2019inizio della sua carriera professionale, avevamo provato ad invitarlo e il fatto che venerd\u00ec 24 ottobre sar\u00e0 con noi, alla Cena di gala dopo altri grandi chef come Chicco Cerea, Gualtiero Marchesi, Aimo e Nadia Moroni, Livia e Alfonso Iaccarino, Gennaro Esposito ci riempie di gioia\u201d.
\u201cWe are thrilled,\u201d emphasizes Sergio Auricchio, the founder of Food&Book, \u201cthat Bartolini has accepted our invitation to come to Montecatini Terme. In the past, even at the start of his professional career, we tried to invite him, and the fact that on Friday, October 24, he will be with us at the Gala Dinner, following other great chefs such as Chicco Cerea, Gualtiero Marchesi, Aimo and Nadia Moroni, Livia and Alfonso Iaccarino, and Gennaro Esposito, fills us with joy.\u201d
The festival will also provide the opportunity to explore the Art Nouveau city and the MO.C.A. museum, which is hosting an exhibition on Mir\u00f3 and displays one of the artist\u2019s largest canvases, Woman Wrapped in the Flight of a Bird.
