Home made pasta, love, prosperity & art at the end of each month
Project Statement
Gnocchi del 29, is a culinary cultural event to build community, celebrate and be aware of all the prosperity we have around us in spite of this economic crisis we are all going through. A guest artist is invited every month to perform or exhibit their work (I.e Photographer, musicians, dancers, fine artists, holistic practitioners) The project’s motto is : Love, Prosperity and Art at the end of each month.
Eating Gnocchi in Argentina every 29th of the month is a national family tradition. The intention is to get together with your loved ones, celebrate and attract prosperity in the month to come.
Historically, the 29th is the feast day of the Italian Saint San Pantaleaon, who was canonised on this date. He practised miraculous healings and reported abundant crops for the year to come to the farmers that fed him along his pilgrimage across Norther Italy during 8th century BC.
In January 2009 I started sharing this tradition with my NY Family and Friends. A vibrant and strong community has become alive since then and its active participation before, during and after the event it is one of the main elements that is making Gnocchi del 29 happen again every month.
