PERUGIA - "After the coronavirus, Italian restaurants can be saved only by returning to popular cuisine, otherwise it will be the end for many companies": Gianfranco Vissani tells ANSA. And he adds: "It will not be easy to bring tourists back to Italy, it will take a long time and if our companies, especially medium-small ones, are not concretely supported by the State, they risk disappearing all and this would be a disaster for history, the culture and tradition of our country ".
Economic support and quality products for Vissani are "the cornerstones for continuing to imagine a future in catering". "If we manage to reopen our activities - he stressed - we will have to raise the quality even more, enough with products created with chemistry where meat is not meat and fish is not fish". He calls for a return to the "grill, toasted bread, to caciucco, to all those noble dishes - he said - that have made our restaurant great".
"If we take this path, perhaps, we will be able to get out of it, but first the State must save us." Vissani also highlights a "positive" aspect related to the Covid-19 emergency: "Having to stay at home, he rediscovered the value of being together in the family", explaining that it is "natural" that everyone on social networks would show the dishes cooked . "Instead I - he concluded - decided to rest, I eat what happens without making great kitchens".
