From Chains<\/em> (1949) to Fiasco in Milan<\/em> (1959), from The Leopard<\/em> (1963) to Macaroni<\/em> (1985), the exhibition route will cover a period of around fifty years, picking out some of the moments when cinema represented the spirit of conviviality and the sharing of food, the nourishment of human life. Eating habits have changed rapidly: the primary need to feed oneself in a country devastated by war has given way to a more serene representation of diet and conviviality.

\nThe transformation of italian eating habits faithfully mirrors the great social changes our country has undergone: from the rampant poverty of the postwar era to the economic boom, to the tensions of the years of political turmoil, to the social climbing of the Eighties.<\/p>\n
\nThe authenticity of the sacred moment of sharing at the table together has never been tarnished.
\nSophia Loren, Fernandel, Claudia Cardinale, nino Manfredi, Vittorio gassman, Virna Lisi, gianni Morandi, Ugo Tognazzi, Marcello Mastroianni and the immortal Tot\u00f2 are just some of the protagonists of the photos, but the leading actor of the exhibition is: food.
\nSubstance and spirit, nourishment for bodies and souls, the glue that binds together both families and society, even on film, food has been and is able to make people talk and reflect both in italy and all over the world.
\nAnd it is exactly that incitement to reflect on food and diet that is the main purpose that links \u201citalian Film Food Stories\u201d to Expo Milano 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
