Gioachino Rossini's passion for good food is universally known. He not only loved sitting there in good company, but he also dedicated himself to the creation of dishes that are still prepared today by the most renowned chefs in the world such as the famous "Tournedos alla Rossini". Already then, in the mid-19th century, he made orders for spaghetti and other kinds from Italy with which he prepared sumptuous and renowned dinners at his home in Passy, just outside Paris. On these occasions, often attended by illustrious guests, the dishes were interspersed with refined concerts that delighted the attendees and whose compositions were often written by Rossini on purpose.
