The theme of food plays a crucial role in the poetry of Dino Buzzati: Christmas cakes and traditional dishes of Milanese cuisine reflect the spiritual and moral features of the characters and are often a metaphor for that world of childhood to which the author looks with yearning nostalgia. La cucina magica di Dino Buzzati is a journey through his works, accompanied by Pierpaolo Pracca to discover dishes and recipes that are tasty for the palate, but above all good for the soul.


Pierpaolo Pracca, scholar of the History of mentalities, alternates his work as a writer and as a psychoanalyst.
