February is the month of Carnival, an ancient festival, born with man and his desire to celebrate life and the transition from winter to spring, a moment of fun, tradition, goliardia, but also a moment that connotes the Italian culture both from the historical point of view and for what is the gastronomic offer of our country.

In every region of Italy, Carnival is celebrated with feasts, masks, allegorical floats of papier-mâché and with typical sweets, prepared only at this time of the year, which are an example of the varied expression of the carnival traditions of our country and which represent a concentrate of history, culture and territory.

It is to celebrate this historic moment of Italian folklore that the Federation of Roads of Wine, Oil and Flavors of Italy organizes the contest “At carnival every pancake is worth”, which on the one hand wants to give visibility to the many catering professionals and of the white art, on the other hand promoting the territories and local traditions of Italy.

“The Roads of Wine, Oil and Flavors present in every part of Italy not only represent suitable communities, companies and the varied world of tourist hospitality, but are often custodians and” disseminators “of knowledge and flavors that they are unique, as the territories are unique – explained Paolo Morbidoni, President of the National Federation of Wine, Oil and Flavors Roads – Hence the idea of ​​enhancing the rituals and gastronomic traditions behind the many ” carnivals ”in Italy. By putting our network at the service of an operation that is above all cultural and that has the ambition of becoming a great showcase for Italian “know-how”. A “know-how” which – as happens for the “historic carnivals”, but also for small community events – often combines very high professionalism and extraordinary volunteer networks. Celebrating the “Carnivals” of Italy, even if only in a virtual way, means recognizing this combination of relevance and relevance. A combination that, we are convinced, will be one of the pillars of the restart of this country, after the emergency. ”
