Join us at Vetri Cucina for an intimate evening with Danielle Callegari, celebrating her acclaimed book, A Bite-Sized History of Italy.

In A Bite-Sized History of Italy, Callegari explores the rich history of Italy through the foods that have defined its regions, traditions, and culture for centuries. From pasta and olive oil to the influences of trade, migration, and empire, the book reveals how the story of Italy can be told through what’s on the plate. Each registration includes a signed copy of A Bite-Sized History of Italy, offering the opportunity to continue the journey long after the last course is served.
