For over a decade, the chefs of Florence’s Apicius International School of Hospitality have made an annual visit to the Beard House to showcase the irresistible allure of their native Italy. This year, for their fourteenth pilgrimage, Gabriella Ganugi and her team of adept culinarians will serve up an edible ode to the turbulent and innovative Italian culture of the 1960s, which yielded both the rise of industrialized food alongside such iconic dishes as tiramisù, mare e monte, and shrimp cocktail.
