The recent news that Italian cuisine is added to Unesco’s intangible cultural heritage list is a recognition that goes far beyond simply celebrating food recipes. It’s global certification of a social ritual, a way of understanding conviviality that, in Italy, permeates every aspect of life. Including work.
Often, the strongest agreements are not signed in meeting rooms, but over a good meal, where formal barriers fall away and leave room for people and ideas.
At Vuototecnica, this philosophy is as much a part of the company’s history as vacuum engineering. Looking through the album of memories from the last fifty years, it is impossible not to think of the dozens of delegations of distributors, Italian partners, and foreign friends who have passed through Beverate di Brivio.
Intense days spent on projects, calculations, and tests. But it is almost always food that cements the relationship. It is during shared meals after work, immersed in the flavors of a cuisine that is now a world heritage site, that technical collaboration is transformed into a lasting alliance.
Italian cuisine has the unique power to warm hearts and, surprisingly, to fuel creativity. Countless insights and solutions to complex problems emerge during moments of convivial relaxation, between toasts and passionate discussions.
This Unesco award is therefore an opportunity to renew our invitation to those who have not yet visited Vuototecnica headquarters and to those who plan to return, to cross the latest frontiers of vacuum technology, but also to experience the hospitality that makes working in Italy – and with Italy – a pleasure that is unique in the world.
Technology moves fast, but great collaborations need time, care, and, why not, an excellent table around which to grow together.
