Eat, Drink & Think Like … Michelangelo
Tanya Bastianich Manuali and Gary Radke
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
Immerse yourself in the spectacular world of the Italian Renaissance as we explore the world-class art and artists of Florence, focusing on one of the greatest, Michelangelo.
Then, turn to the food culture of the period, touching on Catherine de Medici, Lorenzo il Magnifico, Cellini and Lucrezia Borgia, as well as the Venetian spice trade, Renaissance gardens and banquets of the day. Finally, enjoy a taste—as Michelangelo would have—of the Renaissance in food and drink.
