Description

The land of milk and honey (also known as “La Cuccagna”) became reality in baroque Italy: edible monuments were erected during the carnival season and plundered by the citizens. Architecture, culinary art and sensuality clashed with greed and violence. „La Cuccagna“ delves into this bizarre chapter of history and depicts humanity's recurring indulgence in violent excess – an issue that is more relevant than ever today.
