From the big top of the 'Circo 8 e mezzo' AL MENI, a cry echoes out: “Roll up!”. Like a pied piper, Massimo Bottura calls to himself the ten pearls held together by the robust thread of Via Emilia, our region’s excellent products unique in the world, to celebrate the tenth edition of AL MENI together: chefs, artisans, cheese-makers, farmers, fishermen, musicians and artists, mingling with each other in a big embrace, return to Rimini and pitch their marquees in Piazzale Fellini for two days of sharing and inclusion, wonder and good cheer.
On June 17th at 11:30 a.m. Massimo Bottura and Rimini Mayor Jamil Sadegholvaad will officially open the cooking shows.
Over the two days, between cooking shows and starred dishes, 20 cooking talents meet together and the best local products mix with design craft in the large green square dedicated to Fellini. Among the chef guests of this tenth edition there are: Jessica Rosval, Allen Huynh, Anna Barbina, Francesco Vincenzi, Chiara Pavan, Isabelle Gemmer Pering, Marta Cerbino, Massimiliano Mussoni, Emilie Qvist Kjaergaard, Martina Mosco, Vania Ghedini, Giuseppe Gasperoni, Naifa Mulla, Massimo Spigaroli, Marina Gasi, Giovanna Guidetti, Alessandra del Favero, Ivan Milani, Avivit Priel Avichai.
Special gourmet street food points meet workshops, farmers, fishermen and winemakers for an open-air exhibition dedicated to food in all its forms. And then the starry picnic returns in the garden of the legendary Grand Hotel. On Sunday 18 June the chef Claudio di Bernardo will organize, from 12.30 to 15.00, the very popular déjeuner sur l'herbe, the gourmet picnic in the enchanting park a stone's throw from the beach (for reservations, contact the Grand Hotel info@grandhotelrimini.com).
