Agents Report:
Alberto and me entered the Via Emilia with our Mini Clubman: We shot and took pictures of the architectural landscape changing around us, while we were driving along it, even if we knew that Piadinerie would have been only in Romagna. When we finally got in Rimini, the piadinerie were opening: these kiosks essentially work in the evening, at dinner time or after the discos closing time. We passed through the Riviera, hit by the unmistakable style of these small trades, similar to multicoloured striped houses. We asked people about their Piadina recipes, and each Piadinaro has its own: some of them use honey, or milk, or sugar to avoid Piadina to be sour. The most famous and most sold one is filled with stracchino cheese, raw cheese and rocket salad. But some recipes approach cheese to fruit, and other intreresting tastes. A lot of these trades all over the years grew up: until the end of the 80s, a lot of sidewalks along the seafront weren't built yet, and the sea reached the street, blocking every project of structural enlargement of these kiosks. Other ones are similar to normal fastfoods, with no indipendent and mobile structures, but with a store inside of a building. In the end, some clubs or restaurants added the Piadina into their menus, a commercial initiave which doesn't affect anyway the success of the real Piadinari from Romagna.
Original Briefing
How does food map a territory?
Gallery
Crossing several cities of Emilia Romagna including Bologna, Reggio Emilia and Modena, Via Emilia tracks a tasty spectrum of the piadina, a typical regional dish locally referred to as “piada” or “piè”. It is a round piece of flatbread, with different thicknesses or ingredients depending on the cook, enclosing the most various toppings.
