Nonna was right! Italian cuisine wins a place on UNESCO heritage list

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Wednesday welcomed UNESCO’s decision to add Italian cuisine to its list of intangible cultural heritage, calling the move a recognition of the country’s identity and its global influence. She said Italy was the first nation to receive such an honor for its national culinary tradition, describing the designation as a boost for a sector she called central to the country’s culture and economy.
