RETROGUSTI - Food Tales is born

An international project, based on an online magazine and a network for organizing themed events, created to unveil the hidden "aftertastes" in gastronomy, exploring lesser-known roots, values, and traditions.

Dear travelers who are about to embark on an exciting journey through stories and food and wine experiences, these few lines of introduction are addressed to you.


Imagine following our helmsman as he sails in search of territories, products, and people who have a story to tell, capable of evoking curiosity, wonder, and a desire to explore and learn more.

"An exciting journey through stories and gastronomic experiences"

The invitation to board a boat is a metaphor, but, when reading it, a very precise scent likely tickled your nostrils, that of saltiness.

And it is precisely from here that we would like to begin entering Retrogusti: from the fragrance.

The fragrance is what ignites in each of us the spark of a memory, the first sensation we experience when we approach a food or a glass of wine, the one that immediately attracts us or repels us.

Approaching Retrogusti is like approaching a fragrance.

Let yourself be seduced by our top notes, the first that will envelop you, capturing your attention and stimulating the senses, just like the magazine articles that are our gateway.

Through the words of the editors, we will talk about niche products, small producers, and territories, but also about a more well-known and recognizable sector. All driven by the desire to bring out the 'aftertaste', the most hidden and fascinating emotion enclosed in each of them.

Then the heart notes will arrive, the most potent part of the fragrance, the one that characterizes and distinguishes it from all the others: the events.

With Retrogusti we would like to try to convey emotions that only food and wine can evoke, trying to make you experience firsthand what we will tell and fueling in you the desire to travel to concretely know those flavors, places, and knowledge. And we will do it by creating appointments, sensory experiences where we shorten distances, letting you taste, listen, see, feel, and touch the food and wine culture we write about.

"We will create sensory experiences that shorten distances, allowing you to taste, listen to, see, feel, and touch this culture."

Finally, the base notes, the foundation of the fragrance, what lingers the longest and gives volume and texture to the perfume, its true essence: passion.

Passion understood as love for this fascinating world that unites us, as what brought you to this site and as the engine that drives all the realities you will read about.


And so... take your compass rose and let yourself be guided by the intoxicating breeze of Retrogusti!
