This is perhaps the most common street food in Italy, but who even thinks of it as a ”street food” ? Street foods are so common, that most people do not even think of their categorisation with one definition

a well known feature: each artisanal ìce cream is different from the

Evolutions

The Piadina is almost ethnic, already in Bologna: (same administrative region, but do not tell !)

Bologna the piadina native area

But also “international” Piada & Piada, a US based company, stemming from the Associazione produttori piadina fresca della provincia di Rimini (the ones applying for GPI, see next slide) promoting the origin, but also creating: PiadizzaTM, a registered product: the base is piadina and top is pizza A quite intricate (but apparently successful) fusion between

  • foods (traditional + traditional)
  • concepts (street vs. fast)
  • approaches (industrial vs. artisan)

Evolutions

Piadina has gone a long way Nowadays some industrial manufactures are applying for GPI registration for "Piadina romagnola" We do not enter into the fight simply, a further tassel of how street, as other “categorical” foods, are much more complex, dynamic and “free” than what we would like them to be

The “true” piadina is here, what IGP! NO to the IGP proposal, that protects industrial productions let’s defend our traditions

street producers are against

word "romagnola", not allowed anymore with PGI !?
