Manifesto
Le Soste has been committed to sharing its story for over forty years, aiming to be the voice of a unique cooking style that showcases the best of Italy’s food and wine. Its goal is to describe a common spirit and a shared intention that sets Italian cuisine apart from the rest of the world. Evidently, what we do is diff erent, but how? Without focusing on abstract conversations about cultural heritage, it is clear that Italian cuisine as a whole is impressive and exciting. Le Soste brings together the best Italian restaurants of our time, giving them a platform to express and share their interpretation of the restaurateur profession autonomously. The group’s objective is to promote and preserve the Italian tradition and the infi nite variations each restaurant off ers. To achieve this, Le Soste produces an annual guide that bears witness to the excellence of Italian cuisine. The goal for the 2025 edition is to produce more than just a directory of restaurants. We aim to create a collector’s book that refl ects a reasoned process. The absolute novelty of this project is the introduction of a new valuable form of collaboration that, from now on, will be the book’s hallmark, where an artist will reinvent the association’s logo every year. The current logo, based on Emilio Tadini’s arrow, has been the cover of all our published works since the 1980s. This new initiative will allow us to constantly renew the logo and elevate the question of what it means to cook, a concept that is ever- evolving and needs to be constantly revived.
