L’AQUILA – After last year’s success, the 2024 edition of Catering Day returns, the event promoted by Fipe-Confcommercio, the Italian Federation of Public Businesses, with the patronage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Tourism.
Economy and hospitality: these are the themes at the center of the event, scheduled for tomorrow Saturday 18 May, which aims to shine the light on a sector that plays a fundamental role in the economy and identity of our country.
After last year’s success, 10,000 businesses in Italy and abroad, including restaurants, trattorias, taverns and pizzerias, have joined the Day which aims to remember that Italian catering, with 54 billion in added value and 1.4 million employed, not only is it essential for agri-food and tourism but it is also a fundamental hub of history, traditions and identity that expresses the Italian lifestyle.
On this occasion, the Fipe-Confcommercio of L’Aquila also carried out an intense activity to promote the initiative among the restaurateurs of its territory.
“The Catering Day intends to enhance a fundamental sector for the local economy and communicate the cultural, social and identity values of which it is an expression”, commented the president of Fipe-Confcommercio L’Aquila, Daniele Stratta. “Italian catering interprets the ‘myth’ of cuisine, conviviality and lifestyle typical of our country, with an indisputable role in the development and promotion of our territory”.
Catering Day is also an opportunity to carry out an important charity initiative in support of Caritas Italiana community canteens throughout the national territory to provide refreshment and sociality to those living in fragile conditions.
In fact, it will be possible to donate through the Intesa Sanpaolo “Forfunding” platform both on www.forfunding.com and by framing the QR Codes available on the centerpieces positioned in participating restaurants.
Furthermore, anyone will be able to support the project with a donation through the ATMs of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group in the days preceding and following the Catering Day.
