Profumo di cannella
A literary walk, perfumed and tasty inside of the most ecumenical and versatile of the spices: the cinnamon. Sensual and familiar, provocative and cosy, evocative and powerful, it accompanies us since the dawn of time through texts – sacred, poetic, divulgate, narrative – and practical applications, spacing between old rituals and people’s wellbeing. A spice that has been known for millennia, the origin and harvesting of the Cinnamon has been the subject of fanciful stories.
Constant and well-established presence in books and on tables, this spice invites us to follow its footsteps on a journey all around the world.
