Bologna, Italy

Join Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking for its first-ever visit to Bologna, the culinary capital of Italy. Host Pete Evans meets Stefano Corvucci, founder of the Culinary Institute of Bologna, and learns why the Po River Valley gives its famed Grana Padano such distinguished flavor. Then, our two chefs join up with Stefano's colleague Lucia Bezzi to visit the Mercato di Mezzo, a food market that's been buzzing since the Middle Ages. Stefano and Lucia bring to life iconic regional dishes like lasagne, tortelloni, and tiramisu, using techniques and instincts they've inherited and cultivated from family. It's a meal as rich in flavor and heritage as the medieval brick that covers the city.
