What does the proliferation of food festival tell us about rural
areas? How can these celebrations pave the way to a better future
for the local communities? This book is addressing these questions
contributing to the ongoing debate about the future of rural
peripheries in Europe. The volume is based on the ethnographic
research conducted in Italy, a country internationally known for
its food tradition and one of the European countries where the gap
between rural and urban space is most pronounced. It offers an
anthropological analysis of food festivals, exploring the
transformational role they have to change and develop rural
communities. Although the festivals aim mostly at tourism, they
contribute in a wider way to the life of the rural communities,
acting as devices through which a community redefines itself,
reinforces its sociality, reshapes the perception and use of the
surrounding environment. In so doing, thus, the books suggests to
read the festivals not just as celebrations driven by food fashion,
but rather fundamental grassroots instruments to contrast the
effects of rural marginalization and pave the way to a possible
better future for the community
