About Multicultural Dinner

Two summer evenings in Piazza Don Minzoni, in the heart of Modigliana, where the flavours of different countries meet under the same sky. The Multicultural Dinner organised by the Pro Loco is a gastronomic journey across continents: each evening features dishes from three different cuisines, accompanied by live music. A convivial event that celebrates the encounter between cultures and the desire to share a meal together, outdoors, in one of the most picturesque squares of the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines.

World Cuisines Meet in Modigliana

The Multicultural Dinner is one of the most cherished summer events in Modigliana, a small village in the province of Forlì-Cesena, in Emilia-Romagna, nestled between the Tramazzo and Marzeno valleys in the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines. Organised by the Pro Loco Modigliana, the event transforms the very central Piazza Don Minzoni into a large shared table, where the aromas and flavours of distant lands mingle for a few hours with those of Italian tradition.

A Journey Across Continents, One Evening at a Time

The format is simple and welcoming: each evening showcases the cuisines of three different origins, carefully prepared to let you taste specialities rarely found in an Apennine village. It's an opportunity to discover new dishes, chat with those who prepared them, and experience the most authentic dimension of cultural exchange: the one that happens around the table.

The evenings are not just about taste. Live music accompanies the dinner, creating the relaxed atmosphere of summer evenings in the square, amidst the lights and cheerful chatter of families, friends, and passers-by.

A Convivial Tradition of the Pro Loco

The Multicultural Dinner is part of the rich calendar of events that the Pro Loco Modigliana offers throughout the year to liven up the village and promote the area. It is an occasion that combines the welcoming spirit typical of Italian Pro Loco associations with an open-minded view of the world, in line with the spirit of sharing that has always characterised Romagnol village festivals.

Why It's Worth It

  • Two distinct evenings in July, each with a different international menu.
  • Cuisines from different countries, from the Mediterranean to Latin America, to the Middle East.
  • Live music to accompany the outdoor dinner.
  • The intimate and picturesque setting of Piazza Don Minzoni, in the historic centre of Modigliana.
