Italian Language Meeting – April 23, 2025

April 23 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

When: April 23, 2025

Speaker: Elisabetta Brogi

Topic: History of Food in Florence During the Renaissance / La storia della cucina a Firenze durante il Rinascimento

About the Speaker:

Elisabetta Brogi grew up in Florence where she studied history and art. A restorer of paintings in the past, a painter until now, a certified tour guide, she has ranged through various work sectors, from which she has gained satisfaction for “work” and developed curiosity for “knowledge of things”. She is married to Paul, also now a painter, and moved to the United States three years ago, where she participates in art exhibitions with her own painting that she continues to develop with commitment and renewed inspiration. Always a good eater, she has developed a passion for the food history also thanks to the strong Italian and family tradition in that.

Elisabetta Brogi è cresciuta a Firenze dove ha studiato storia e arte. Restauratrice di dipinti in passato, pittrice fino ad ora, guida turistica certificata, ha spaziato vari settori lavorativi, da cui ha colto la soddisfazione per il “lavoro” ed ha sviluppato la curiosita’ per la “conoscenza delle cose”. È sposata con Paul, anche lui adesso pittore, e si è trasferita negli Stati Uniti tre anni fa, dove partecipa a mostre d’arte con la propria pittura che continua a sviluppare con impegno e rinnovata ispirazione. Da sempre buona forchetta si è appassionata alla storia del cibo anche grazie ad una forte tradizione familiare per il mangiare. Le piace viaggiare e conoscere la cultura di paesi diversi, e ovunque si trova… le piace mangiare!
