Tuscia, a Simposio cookbook

Tuscia: volcanic soil. Wild herbs. Towns lost to time.

Simposio isn’t just a cookbook. It’s an experience.

Tuscia begins with a place: an old country house, where memory settles into objects, and where recipes are not written, but remembered.

Tuscia is the soul of central Italy.
Volcanic soil. Wild herbs. Deep olive groves. Towns shaped by time.

Each chapter opens a shelf, revealing objects from another life.
Each recipe hides in a drawer, unfolding stories of saints, shepherds, Etruscans, and the enduring rituals of rural kitchens.

Inside this volume:

• Narrative introductions to each recipe and object
• Traditional dishes from Tuscia and its villages
• Cultural fragments: rituals, ingredients, and local memory
• Photography that preserves what would otherwise disappear
