Pizza as a symbol of culture and sustainability: in Miami Beach Pecoraro Scanio relaunches his battle for a more just future, between defense of traditions and ecological transition.
Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, former minister and president of the UniVerde Foundation, promoter of the international “Pizza UNESCO” campaign, announces the “Aperipizza” initiative, scheduled for today in Miami Beach, to celebrate the art of the Neapolitan pizza maker-recognized by UNESCO as an intangible heritage of humanity-and aims to engage the city’s multicultural community.
The event will not only be a tribute to a great Italian tradition. In fact, alongside Pecoraro Scanio will be Kristen Rosen Gonzalez, a candidate for mayor of Miami Beach, with whom she shares a commitment to ecology, inclusion and the fight against all forms of discrimination.
This initiative takes on an important symbolic value precisely in Miami Beach, an international and multicultural city. It will also be an opportunity to involve the area’s Italian community, while promoting a global message: working everywhere for a just ecological and digital transition, capable of uniting inclusion, solidarity and respect for diversity. From natural and cultural biodiversity to great folk traditions such as Neapolitan pizza
Explains the former minister, who also went on to cite activities to protect sea turtles on Miami’s beaches, a commitment that recalls environmental battles waged in Italy and the Mediterranean.
For Pecoraro Scanio, the “Aperipizza” is thus more than a celebration: it is a moment to remember that the defense of traditions and food authenticity against fake food must go hand in hand with innovation and sustainability. “Only in this way,” he concludes, “can we build a more just and inclusive future for all peoples.
With this event, an opportunity for civic engagement to relaunch the battle for an inclusive and equitable model of development, Neapolitan pizza confirms itself as a universal ambassador of conviviality, ecology and dialogue between cultures.
