Claudia Rinaldi

Gourmet Project is a platform by Italian writer and creator Claudia Rinaldi, sharing Italian culture through food, traditions, places, and everyday rituals. Rooted in observation and a curiosity about Italy’s past and present, the project invites readers to explore the peninsula beyond familiar stereotypes, with attention to its regions, cities, seasons, and customs.

Its offerings include books that open onto Italian life through stories, recipes, and reflections on regional culture. Through Italian Culture Sessions, Claudia provides one-to-one online conversations and readings tailored to the Italy a participant wants to discover, encouraging deeper cultural understanding and a closer connection with the country. Gourmet Project also offers fine-art photography prints featuring Italian scenes and stories, created to evoke memories and inspire the senses.

For regular inspiration, Italian Colors is a Sunday newsletter from Rome covering food, culture, seasonal changes, and the small details of everyday life. Across its publications, sessions, photography, and newsletter, Gourmet Project presents Italy as a rich, living culture to be explored with curiosity and care.
