Italian cuisine is an expression of culture, creativity, and care: a way of life that celebrates beauty, simplicity, and respect for nature and people.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1157\">This spirit finds deep resonance in Vietnam, where food also brings people together \u2014 family, friends, and communities \u2014 in the joy of sharing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1159\" data-end=\"1537\">Here at Mega Market, we celebrate not only Italian products \u2014 from pasta to olive oil, from cheese to wine \u2014 but also the partnership that allows Vietnamese families to experience authentic Italian taste. The recent collaboration between the Italian Trade Agency and Mega Market represents a new step in making high-quality Italian products more accessible throughout Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1539\" data-end=\"1766\">I wish to thank Mega Market Vietnam, the Italian Trade Agency, and all the Italian companies and chefs \u2014 including Chef Federico Pinzi and Chef Steven \u2014 for bringing to life the creativity and passion that define our cuisine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1944\">May this week inspire us to rediscover the joy of sharing and to strengthen \u2014 through the universal language of good food \u2014 the enduring friendship between Italy and Vietnam.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Consul General Alessandra Tognonato opened the 10th Week of Italian Cuisine in the World in Ho Chi Minh City at Mega Market An Ph\u00fa, celebrating Italy\u2019s culinary heritage and its growing connection with Vietnam. &#8220;Ladies and Gentlemen,It is a great pleasure to open today, here at Mega Market An Ph\u00fa, the first of our events [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":5590,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5620"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5703,"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5620\/revisions\/5703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conshochiminh.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
