Albania in the Bio-Mediterraneum Cluster

"The Bio-Mediterraneum Cluster will be a shared space, a typical village whose many contributions will bring it to life during the six months of Expo Milano 2015, managed together with all countries that are part of it. - Explained Filippo Ciantia, - The Cluster is not based simply on a geographical aggregation but on the idea of the meeting of peoples, cultures and religions that have given life to a diet and a way of life, known throughout the world: the Mediterranean diet. "The common denominator of three continents, Europe, Africa and Asia, the Mediterranean Sea is a symbol of fusion, intersections and diversity. Food is just one of the elements that continually help to secure and spread the uniqueness of this area of the world, thanks to products like bread, oil, grapes. In the Cluster exhibition space, visitors can find these products and in the semi-covered central square, inspired by the typical squares of Mediterranean cities, can see cooking shows and food preparation.
