Nel Blu: Italian Biodiversity Book

Author: Oscar Farinetti

The most recent book written by the founder of Eataly, Oscar Farinetti, focuses on biodiversity and the role of the Italian winds that blow off the sea and into the mountains. With a focus on beauty, and the true heritage of Italy that is known and appreciated around the world, Farinetti’s work stresses the immense variety and value of plants and animals. For example, Italy is fortunate to have 63 indigenous goat breeds and 538 varieties of olive within the country. This is a book to learn about the nuances of Italian biodiversity; region by region and product by product.
