5 Euro - Italian Cuisine - Italy - 2026 - Silver BU

5 euro silver coin dedicated to Italian cuisine, a UNESCO Cultural Heritage, BU.
As stated in the documentation submitted for the nomination, Italian cuisine is a daily practice that encompasses knowledge, rituals, and gestures that have given rise to a creative and artisanal use of ingredients, helping to create a shared socio-cultural identity that is, at the same time, chronologically and geographically diverse.
UNESCO thus recognizes the representativeness of Italian cuisine as a vehicle of culture: it is a body of knowledge that is not only culinary but also convivial and social, passed down from generation to generation throughout the country. Through the sharing of food, gastronomic creativity, and socializing, Italian cuisine embodies values of inclusivity and environmental sustainability.
