The cultural journey of codfish in The Telegraph

A heartfelt thank you to journalist Andrew Eames from The Telegraph, who joined us at the Via Querinissima Days in Greece last December, for this insightful article that takes readers on a journey to discover a product deeply connected to our history: codfish (Gadus morhua).

Eames masterfully illustrates how this fish serves as a cultural bridge between the cold waters of Norway and the Mediterranean, focusing on the island of Røst, a key hub for stockfish production, which is exported in large quantities each year. This deep connection through food is also reflected in the journey of Pietro Querini.

The article also highlights the Querini Opera, a remarkable artistic project that has transformed the shipwreck story and the encounter between different cultures into a theatrical masterpiece, ensuring that this legacy continues to inspire future generations.

Thank you once again to Andrew Eames for bringing attention to this extraordinary connection between places and traditions and for mentioning Via Querinissima in his article.

Happy reading!
