For every two months, a chef and a taster, an outfit and a dish, inaugurating the new year just around the corner with Rosanna Marziale, chef of Le Colonne in Caserta, in Eles Couture “oriente”, who chooses sheets of pasta, vegetables and mozzarella of Campania buffalo for the university professor Francesco Eriberto d’Ippolito, director of the Political Science department of the UniCampania of Caserta, with a suit by the Neapolitan tailor Gabo. The presentation of “Matres et Coqui” will not be held at the Department of Political Science by chance, awaiting the twinning for the creation of the 2021 calendar between the author Parisi and the same department led by d’Ippolito which, tomorrow, will open the conference and will welcome the morning guests, supported by the Deputy Rector of the Green Economy and Environmental Sustainability of UniVanvitelli, Furio Cascetta, and by the President of the Province of Caserta, Giorgio Magliocca, who will bring institutional greetings.

“The twinning between our Political Science department and the 2023 edition of Fashion&Food by Salvio Parisi, which gave life to the “Matres et Coqui” calendar which makes an extraordinary synthesis of the potential and excellence of our territory, stems from our goal to train students through interdisciplinary methodologies, providing the cultural tools to govern the dynamics of global society, aimed at orienting the new actors of territorial policies in the public and private sector and educating in a broad vision of international relations and integration processes region in the Euro-Mediterranean context. It is no coincidence that in the last year and a half we have invested a lot in training in the planning and management of tourism systems with the aim of training professionals in the sector of sustainable planning and territorial management of tourism with the ability to evaluate changes in the tourism phenomenon and of territorial resources”, declares d’Ippolito. “The 2023 edition takes a heartfelt look at the sense of rebirth, at the original desire for union and at an eternal concept of familiarity and fruitfulness. It involves the world of archeology and ancient Italic or Campanian art with a particular focus on the Mater Matuta of the Campano Museum in Capua, where among the magnificent tuff statues of women with children on their laps one breathes authentic auspices of spirituality and realism, ancestral worship and rituals, family and “ex voto”, nourishment and fertility: in a word, re-birth. It collects the contemporary testimonies of this place between mystical and hieratic, hosting among the portraits of the “special tasters” six institutional and artistic representations of this prestigious museum pole, unique in the world, as well as of the Caserta area. For all this, it’s called “Matres et Coqui”, explains Salvio Parisi.
