Discreet charm of Italian food and gardens on display in Bahrain
Italy’s grand art of gardening, where love of nature smoothly blends with art and passionately hugs with architecture, as admired in the numerous villas and giardini of the romantic Peninsula, will be represented for the first time at the Bahrain International Garden on February 25-28 in Manama.
The Italian showpiece will present various products linked to gardening, including garden furniture and garden landscaping services. All will carry the distinctively Italian magic touch. Italian design applied to garden landscaping, with mosaics and marble artifacts will be displayed as a major feature in the stand.
The stand “Terrae d’Italia” is organized by the Consultrade agency- Puglia which will build on the outstanding success achieved by the popular “Festival Italiano” organized by the Embassy of Italy in Bahrain last October together with the Italian Trade Commission (ICE). The stand will give a special place to one of the finest Italian regions, Apulia, rich in history and traditions. More than 30 Italian operators will represent the areas of excellence of “Made in Italy”.
Sicily will be the other region to draw attention at the Garden Show with its rich flora and gardening art.
As the special theme of the Garden Show this year is food security, safe and nutritious food that meets dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy lifestyle, a special place will be dedicated to Italian food and Italian cuisine.
Italian food has over the centuries earned itself a wonderful reputation, not only because it is highly palatable and impressively delicious, but also because of its genuine nature and lack of artificiality.
The Italian cuisine is characterized by its healthiness and the simplicity of its ingredients. In fact, it readily provides the wonderful assistance needed to ensure food security thanks to the possibility of having a small, but bountiful garden and using its produce in the best and most palatable way. Fresh ideas using fresh ingredients are in fact the core of the Italian cuisine philosophy.
