Pasta lovers, mark your calendars: on October 25, World Pasta Day returns — a global celebration of one of the most beloved, versatile, and symbolic foods of Italian culinary heritage.
On October 8, 2025, the European Parliament approved—with 532 votes in favor, 78 against, and 25 abstentions—an amendment to the CMO Regulation (Common Market Organisation) introducing a package of measures aimed at strengthening transparency in food communication and protecting agri-food supply chains.
There is a red thread – or rather, a tricolour one – that connects Malta, Cyprus, and Italy: it’s called authenticity. This is the principle that has always guided Fausto Soldini, a Roman restaurateur and ambassador of Italian cuisine in the Mediterranean.
Italian chef, born into the trade and ambassador of authentic Neapolitan cuisine in the UK, Enzo Fiore is the owner of the O’ Curniciello restaurant-pizzeria in Lancing, West Sussex.
The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, clearly expressed his stance against tariffs and trade restrictions: “Unjustified protectionism and market closures with an inexplicably autarkic flavor would significantly harm key sectors of excellence.”
In 2024, Italian agri-food exports reached a new all-time high, amounting to €69.1 billion, marking an 8% increase compared to the previous year.
In Italy, the food sector is not just a productive industry—it is a vital part of everyday life for millions and directly influences societal choices and values.
