Every single illustration is made by an Italian. We wanted to do exclusively Italian illustrators.
PAJ: We always try to make things a bit different and a bit difficult almost for ourselves.
Tell me about what you're really excited about in this issue. That's the main goal always, picking themes that could inspire other people to do things.Ī piece on beloved pizzeria Pepe in Grani accompanied with work from an Italian illustrator. PAJ: People and things that could inspire others. But we tried to choose a few interesting things that we really wanted to tell about. LJ: And of course we can't cover everything because that would be like books.
Not only in Italy, because this is about Italy in the world as well. This is more like a snapshot of late Winter 2013 of the stuff we think is interesting people we think are interesting in Italian gastronomy. PAJ: That was the tough part, of course, and by no means do we say that it's the perfect complete image in any way. With so much ground to cover, how did you decide what to feature? How did you narrow it down? That's why we wanted to give it another dimension as well. Especially since everybody knows "Italian food," but they don't really know it. But still there are quite few high-end places that people speak about. So they have a very high profile in the world, a great reputation. Everybody speaks about Italian food, everybody loves Italian food in a way you never say that you love German food, for instance. It's a country - well, speaking of gastronomy - that's constant in a way. Or Italy is never really out of fashion, either. Per-Anders Jörgensen: I think the reason also is Italy is never really in fashion. Lotta Jörgensen: We have been speaking about doing Italy for quite some time and we thought it was good timing to do it right now since Italy's economy is bad. Here's the interview and a sneak peek inside: This morning, Eater caught up with Fool editors Lotta Jörgensen and Per-Anders Jörgensen by telephone to talk about why they decided to focus on Italy for their latest issue, what stories inspire them, and why they're expecting all hell to break loose with this issue's release in Italy. (Including pieces on Christian Puglisi in Copenhagen, Carlo Mirarchi in New York City, and the sizable Italian community in Sao Paulo.) It's also filled with well-known bylines: Lisa Abend explores the exuberance of Bottura, while coffee expert Oliver Strand writes about the state of coffee in Italy. Beyond a cover story that involves Massimo Bottura and his Osteria Francescana team paying homage to iconic filmmaker Federico Fellini, this issue is filled with stories about Italy's chefs, cuisine, and diaspora. Brace for the fourth issue of the award-winning Fool Magazine focusing on all things Italian.
