A visual journey centered around one of the most frequently filmed and represented themes in amateur cinema and home movies: food. Many activities revolve around it, from labor to social rituals, all captured by the amateur camera, which often acts as both creator and accomplice of these representations, but even more so as a witness. Alongside the large tables of gathered family groups, we see the transformations of the agri-food chain: from production to distribution, from sales to preparation to consumption. This is a collective narrative, drawn from private archives, that spans decades and traverses the spaces and places that have shaped the history of our country and the daily lives of its citizens: fields, factories, markets, shops, trattorias, homes with their kitchens, and festive meals. In the images of private cinema, the authentic and profound relationship that Italians have with food emerges with extraordinary clarity: a story of shared values, knowledge, and approaches historically and collectively built.
