Academia Barilla Italian food history exhibitions

Overview

Academia Barilla has facilitated several exhibitions focused on Italian gastronomic history. In early October 2026, the organization presented ‘Un mondo di menù’ at the Mercanteinfiera Autunno exhibition in Parma. This display featured a collection of over 5,000 historical menus, including documents from Casa Savoia and the ‘Stella Polare’ North Pole expedition, to illustrate the evolution of social dining and culinary traditions.

Following this, the Museo Nazionale del Risorgimento Italiano in Torino hosted ‘A Tavola! Cucina, cibo e gusto nell’Italia del Risorgimento’ starting October 21, 2026. Supported by Barilla’s historical archives and the Pasta Museum, this exhibition examined the development of a shared national gastronomic identity from the late 18th century through World War I, utilizing artifacts such as 19th-century volumes and historical menus.
