AUTHENTIC ITALIAN COOKBOOKS: Your Place at the SIMPOSIO Table

Simposio is more than a cookbook—it’s an experience to savor slowly.
Created by Italian author Claudia Rinaldi, this unique collection of Italian travel cookbooks invites you into the heart of Italy. With every page, you’ll taste authentic recipes passed down through generations, wander through sun-drenched villages, and uncover stories, rituals, and everyday beauty that make Italian life so irresistible.

Inspired by the ancient tradition of the symposium—a gathering around food, wine, and conversation—Simposio invites you to take your place at the table. Stunning photography, cultural insights, and seasonal inspiration turn each book into a sensory escape—one to be savored slowly, like a long Sunday lunch under the vines.
Whether you’re cooking, dreaming, or planning your next trip, Simposio brings the true essence of Italy into your home.
