Arte in Salotto is a space for sharing and cultural exchange, an unconventional and multifaceted gallery—multifaceted like Francesca Barra, journalist, writer, mother, and passionate lover of cooking.

Her latest book was presented on Thursday, November 10 2022, at the gallery, during an evening full of feminine energy (almost entirely), a convivial moment in which stories of family traditions, memories, and recipes brought together the lives of different women.

“A occhio e quanto basta” was born from the Instagram profile of the same name that Francesca launched during the lockdown, aiming to stay close to her followers through her family’s recipes. Food thus becomes a tender gesture toward loved ones, a true act of love.
