The restoration of Siena
lands is usually considered of high quality. The detection of "Il
Sole 24 Ore" (the most important Italian financial newspaper) about
the quality of life revealed it even at the end of 2005, that
reported the Senese wine and food offer on the stage of Italian
preferred things.
A state of things to
which even "Girogustando" contributes. The event by Confederation of
Retailers in Siena, invented in 2002 by a group of restaurateurs of
the Tuscan centre, only in three years has already become a
fundamental date not only for those restaurants that wish to get
better, but above all for the public who attend it. Over two hundred
thousand people have attended the 2005 year edition and almost the
same number is expected for the 16 soirées planned this year since
February 2nd to March 30th.
But what is Girogustando?
"The Italian chefs meet together in Siena" tells the pay off and it
is just like that: in any of the soirées, a Senese Restaurateur
receives a colleague coming from the rest of Italy who, for that
occasion, transfers the tastes and atmosphere of his own restaurant
and of his own land of origin.

That long twinning
of "good table", the guiding event of the cold season
this year alternates all the culinary expressions typical of the 10 Italian Regions. Though the
capacity often contained of the participating spots, Girogustando succeeds in making an
event of each soirée, to which whoever have previously
participated often tends to come back to. The attractions therefore are
several: the showing out of courses and ingredients, the sommeliers who
honour the wines, the witnesses of the chefs with their own
life stories.
Then the questions
and curiosities of the public and even some nice unscheduled
programme: a plot that is never the same and that will be "on stage"
in 2006 every wednesday or thursday in a Restaurant in Siena or in
its province. The couples of restaurateurs can repeat their
performance on the soirée following their former one; even during
the following weekend the menu of the hosting restaurant contains a
selection of contending courses, by offering that way one more
reason to visit Siena Lands. |

The Italian province into the
limelight
The Italian Regions where the protagonists of
Girogustando 2006 come from are ten as a whole and the parade thus
alternate the various expressions of a cooking appreciated by the
great public of the Italian province.
For two months a cross-section of restoration that
wants to get better will come and have its shape and will not
hesitate to confront itself to do that from Friuli Venzia Giulia to
Abruzzo, to Liguria to Emilia Romagna all’Abruzzo, dalla Liguria
all’Emilia Romagna obviously passing by Toscana. Girogustando 2006
finds the support of Chamber of Commerce of Siena, of the
Association of Tuscan Wine Producers (A.pro.vi.to) to sort out the
local wines and the sommeliers Fisar.
But the 5th edition enjoy the
partnership with the Enoteca Italiana of Siena again as a granter
for the choice of labels to match with the courses of the guest
restaurators. Experts and v.i.p. compose night after night a rich
parterre, mingling through the public who can participate to the
soirées at the fixed price of 30,00 Euros.
All the menus and advances about the
soirées are available on the website:
